Change to synthetic whenever you want. It doesn't matter when you change. I will change to Mobil1 5w20 Syn at 9000 miles. Only because my dealer did the 3000 and 6000 mile change for free

first oil change was free from the dealer, so switched to synthetic mobile one at 6,000 miles.

i would have done it at 3,000 if done myself.
