In my taco i was using Mobil 1 Extended life 15k Fully Synthetic and changing at 10k. still looked new when i changed the oil.
Mobil 1 does make 5w 20 Fully synthetic extended life, which I have found online to buy, if I can't find it locally.

I cannot understand why you have difficulty in your neck of the woods.
