If your engine is using a lot of oil like some of the early ones do, it is really not that much use if pouring expensive fully synthetic in the engine and having to add several quarts between changes.
You see, the benefit using fully synthetic is when you have a solid engine and drive a lot of miles in short time and you go 10K miles or more between changes.
If you are changing the oil every 3K and are planning to do so, it would be a waste of good oil using synthetic.
If your engine is using a lot of oil it would also be a waste to use synthetic if you would have to add 2-3 quarts in between oil changes of 5K miles which some of them can burn.
