My '96 9K CSE ran on dino oil every 3-4K for 90K miles before I got it. I switched to Mobil 1 and have run that every 5K for the last 35K miles. Doesn't use a drop of oil and the more I run it, the cleaner the oil seems to stay.
My '95 9K CS that my daughter drives ran on dino for 138K. Switched to Mobil 1 and it is doing the same, cleaner with each change. Both start easy in winter and I like the extra protection for the turbo.
Our '03 9-5 Linear SW has 43K on it and the PO changed it at the dealer (presumably synthetic) evey 5K. We are doing the same.
If you are going from dino to syn each change will cost more, but you do them less often so the cost difference isn't so great. My recommendation is just make the switch, change every 5K and enjoy the car.
