Just one caveat, when switching between non-synthetic and full synthetic I have read that some seals may start to leak due to the different properties between the two.

I would check your other car forums to see whether that's a wise idea or not.

I was going to put Synthetic into my Jeep Wrangler as well but heard of possible leaking after the switch and decided against it for now.

Just something to consider...
