...change your oil more often dude. every 3K miles is more the normal.

I use Mobil 1 full synthetic: 5w/30 Easy to get me dirty hands on quickly and priced fairly well too.

My vote goes to motul 10w 40 fully synthetic oil.

Why 10w 40 ?

Good move, you'll have a oil that can protect your engine year round, will not matter if its winter or summer

X2 motul xcess 10w40 can't go wrong with it, every 3000 miles is the right way
