But I'd chk if there's a Schaeffers dealer near by (thus no shipping $) - and run their 5w20. Very good extended drain oil. UOA just once for proof of concept.
Schaeffer, PP & M1 are all excellent choices for that app. (My choice - Sch.) MC might be pushing the envelope of its design.
Happy (10k) trails.. if that's what you decide.
+1 on the Schaeffer's reco.
Just changed out a 13.5k run in a commercially used 4 cyl Highlander and got 3.5 quarts that flowed and was brown with no grit. Unfortunately couldn't do a UOA but the engine idled whisper quiet and smooth after the oil change. Testimony to the engine and the oil!
