I would be more concerned about your filter than your oil. Synthetics are great, but a crappy filter can still cause problems. I have actually run synthetic and just changed the filter instead of the oil, and topped up as needed. But on dino oil I still try to change it at 3000 miles for what it's worth. Probably not needed, but it is cheap insurance.
