Oil Clarification Needed (No Pun Intended..!)

My 1999 2.3 lpt 9-5 is nearing 150K miles after buying it at 65K. I've done the PCV6 upgrade, but long after getting oil seepage (probably from crank seal) which continues. Here in Northern Virginia, I've regularly used Mobil 10W 40, but I am getting tired of paying extra money for "extended mileage" Mobil synthetic oil that I change (with filter) every 3,000 miles and not every 7,500+ miles. Is the 5W 40 disel engine oil often spoken of the Shell Rotella brand? Is it dyno oil? Is it cheaper, but equal or better quality than Mobil 1? Most of the wife's driving is local stop and go with only a weekly 130 mile highway roundtrip on the weekends.
Not trying to start an endless slippery slope oil discussion/argument here, just some quick answers.
Thanx,
Kirk D.
