unless your going long drain intervals, it`s not necessary. now the 3.0, different story. i`d only go 3k on synthetic in that motor.

Synthetic lubes all the way & every day. Todays engines & designed for synthetic oils even if u change oil every 5K. Most if not all expensive vehicles come with synthetics.

Just like tires advanced over the years so has lubes.
