Heck yes go for it! Changed over mine at 7,500 miles... Also, went to a 6 month oil/filter change schedule. This year was the first time I went 4,000 miles in the 6 month period.
Make sure it's the manufactures recommended weight for the engine!

It doesn't take long to seat rings in modern engines, so that is plenty of miles to do the switch. But...Why? Are you having trouble with non-synthetics? Just curious as to the imputus.
