It is not an option on synthetic or not synthetic. The only answer is synthetic. So assume it has synthetic already in it. Now you need to decide which synthetic to use when you change the oil. Plenty of threads on personal preferences in oil - they usually end up in holy wars.

When you change your oil, be sure you have a LARGE pan to collect the oil as these hold 8 qts. And be aware if you have the large pan with the 1" diameter hole in the middle, get a different pan. That hole is too small for the volume of oil coming out and very quickly oil is spilling over the side of the pan and onto your garage floor vs going into the pan. I went to my favorite home improvement store and bought a 3'x4' pan used for mixing home batches of concrete.
