RE: Synthetic oil
In my other car, I have had success with Castrol GTX. It is a in-line four with turbo. It has over 200K miles. No problems with original turbo. No problems with compression. I run straight 30W in the Summer and 10W30 when temperature high's stay below 60 degrees. I have always drained oil within 3,000 miles intervals.

The only possible problem with switching to synthetic at 146K miles, is that oil may begin to leak around valve cover gaskets and other oil seals. This typically happens to engines where the previous owner neglected to do routine oil changes. Go ahead and switch over to synthetic. If you have no problems with oil leaks, continue with synthetic. If you have problems, just switch back to conventional.
