Switching to full synthetic is an excellent idea. I'd pick one with PAO base.
Having used (and sold) AMSOIL for over 25 years now, I'd likely use the AMSOIL 5W-40. If I couldn't, or wouldn't, get AMSOIL, I'd use the Mobil 1 0W-40.
I'd also recommend using a good engine flush first---best I know of are made by AMSOIL or BG. If you want to spend longer, look at Auto-Rx, which I've not used but have seen good reports on.
If you don't, or won't, flush, watch the oil level. If the car starts using oil at a faster pace after a couple thousand miles, change the filter and top off. You might want to change the first batch after 5,000 miles or so anyhow.
