Well its right around 3000 and I think its time. Lookin for suggestion. I was going to go with M 1 oil and filter. Should I go synthetic right now or wait? Comments....

some say to wait till 10k to switch to synthetic, some say it really doesnt matter. i think you'll be fine either way. i personally waited until 10k but it was something i was pretty whatever about. everyone has their opinions, but at the end of the day nobody can actually prove without a doubt which method is clearly better.

I waited until 7k to go synthetic. Like Bryan said, no one has proven any clear advantages to waiting but it made me feel better.

go synthetic now, just double-check for leaks after you do.

Yep, and I'd defiantly suggest the M1 filter.
