Oil Change. Synthetic?

Oil Change. Synthetic?
I have stated before that I'm definately no mechanic so I have a question for you guys.
I bought my Ram at the end of January. It now has 52,000 miles and is overdue for an oil change. I can only assume that up until this point it has had only regular oil. Is it safe to switch to synthetic oil at this point? I've read all the great things about Mobile 1, Royal Purple and Amsoil and would like to put synthetic in it but will it hurt anything at this point?
Thanks.

wont hurt a thing. your good to go. i personally use mobil 1. i have tried rp before but it is a littl emore than mobil 1 and the auto parts stores around here dont always have it in my weight. get yourself a good filter too not the cheapo fram. there is a site i think its bobtheoilguy.com has lots of info on filters and oil.

Go with the synthetic, I did after I already had 60,000+ miles on mine. Nice thing about using syn is you can go longer between oil changes which is what I do. I'll go 5,000 then change the filter and add a little fresh oil to bring the level back up. Didn't notice anything as far as gains go but the syn is suppose to be a much better oil.

agreed walmart has the best deals. they were sellin a fram filter for 10 bucks though which was rediculous.. but a dude on the 2nd gen forum (back when i still had my 2nd gen) said use the ford motocraft fl-a1 or whatever.. so i did.. its twice the size.. half the price.. and better filter.. ne way.. im done rambling.. oil there is redicously cheap. esp mobil 1
