If the car has been running on non synthetic oil (or you don't know which oil was), switching to synthetic must be done with caution. Synthetic will start 'cleaning' the engine and will quickly clog the oil filter for the first 2-3 oil changes. I would change 2 oil filters at each 500-1000 miles (just reuse the oil or top up if removing the filter alone). Also regularly check oil level on synthetic as it may start consuming some oil.

Any "synthetic" 5W30 oil will do well, such as Castrol Syntec, Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platinum.
