I need advice on the grade of my motor oil to use since

My 2002 Linear is now has about 120K miles on the motor without any issues at this time. My mileage has dropped about a year now from 29 MPG to 23 MPG, which is okay with me. No significant oil burning or leak between changes, which every 5K miles full synthetic motor oil.
My main question is, what grade of synthetic oil should I be using now since I have 120K on the motor? Should I go with the "high mileage" type of synthetic oil or just keep running 5w30 Mobil 1 synthetic?? Oh, I do live in cold climate, which sometimes, dropped to -30 degrees during the winter months.
Please let me know and I am open for all suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
