So, with all of that in mind, what's the opinion on using a good quality 5W/30 A5/B5 considering that the car does very few short trips and most mornings will be doing 120kmh for almost 2 hours after it is started??

Millers Oil XF 5W30 Longlife Eco oil fully synthetic (A5/B5)
Mobil 1 Super 3000 5W30 FE fully synthetic (A5/B50
Motul 8100 5W30 Eco-energy fully synthetic (A5/B5)

I will be doing 6 oil changes a year, the really expensive oils are just not a runner for me.
