Have you considered the hard to find Mobil 1 0W40? It has a better rating. I forgot all the details. It's something like the Euro A3/B3 which is better than the 10W30 A1/B1. For WV, I'd think that 10W30 is fine.
The only reason I haven't switched is that there's a small possibility of leaks if you change to synthetics in an old car. I change my oil with dino every 90 days which works out to as low as every 2,000 mi. I do pour almost 2 cups of oil into the filter as frequent oil changes can be bad if you let the engine run dry (by installing a filter with no oil).
