Can someone recommend a good synthetic oil please

Sorry for the oil question but I tried to do a search and MY GOD, I don't have 3 days to pour over all the stuff that's been discussed.
I have on 01 HO that I've been using Delo 400 since new, has 67000 miles on it. I live in a very cold climate and am interested in the benefits of synthetic oil for cold starts. I can run long intervals even on dino oil because of my driving, towing conditions. I don't really care about cost, although I'll run longer intervals for sure. Cold starts are the only reason I want to switch to synthetic. Thanks.
