Ohh, it's a baby, make the switch for sure.  My
original MC had 144k on it when I got it, and it never
leaked when I put syn in.  My orig NG motor had syn at
from 110k to 160k and never leaked.  I think it's the
perfect mileage, just barely broken in!  Just think of
that regular oil cooking away in your turbo.  It wants
the syn!
