I drive my RAM about 2k mi/yr. (at 9 mpg I prefer to use it only for hauling/4X4 use/etc vs. normal commuting).

Oil gets changed annually.

I've used M1 10W-30 since it was new but it seems a waist to change out all 7 qts at only 2kmi.

What dino oils do well in a V10?? I'm wondering if the fleet oils like Longlife or Delo are too thick at 15W-40? Would Chevron Supreme 10W-30 be a good choice or should I just stick with M1?
 
I keep doing that. I wouldn't want a 15W-40 in there in the middle of a record Winter.

I still might change the filter and top up at 6 months.

I think M1 10W-30 fits your situation.

I would stick to a 10w30 since the engine has low miles. As for dino or syn, take your pick, there will be arguments for both.
