Synthetic Oil for Towing?
I have a 2007 Chev 2500HD 6.0L gas with 36K Are there any benifits of using say Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic for the towing season? Or is regular 5w30 just as good?

Not very, either internet order or look for a local distributor.

Synthetics handle high heat better than conventional oils, and towing generates more heat than normal driving.
Mobil 1 is a Group 3 synthetic, or it was last I checked, which is barely considered a synthetic. I would look at a good group 4, like Amsoil, and run one year round and based on the year and mileage you would probably be able to do once a year oil changes, something not advised with dino oil.
Conventional oils are fine for towing.
Yes they are, synthetics are better.
Many OEM's are using synthetic for the factory fill these days.
