Synthetic?

So just last week I purchased a 05 RL with 35K miles. I have always used Mobil 1 full synthetic in all my vehichles. Does anyone see any issues with changing to synthetic at 35K miles? I was thinking it might only be an issue if it had 80k or something like that. Thanks. Also I have to say the SH-AWD is very nice in Cleveland snow last week.

No.

Yet another convert. SH-AWD FTW ! Also, on a dry day, try the I-77 S-->480 E interchange ramp, especially on a weekend with light traffic. When I'm on that ramp, I make sure that the SH-AWD display is activated. I reliably get 2-3 bars on the passenger side rear wheel. Fun and a great test of SH-AWD in the dry.

You read my mind, I hit that ramp and the 480W to 77N ramp all the time. Last week I hit the 480W to 77N ramp and got up to about 95 towards the top, loving it. I did hit the 77S to 480E ramp yesterday morning but there was too much traffic for me to push it hard. I will let you know, thanks for the info on the oil. On a side note I had a little trouble looking at the SH-AWD screen as I was doing it as the steering wheel sometimes blocks the view.
