How about on a high mileage motor?

I have about 175,000 on my motor. No leaks, doesn't use a drop between 3,000 mile oil changes. An engineer (ex-oil field guy) says to go the normal interval 2 times with the synthetic, and then go twice the manufacturers recommended interval with a 5 micron filter.
Since my motor has so many miles, could I convert to synthetic at this juncture? How about his thoughts on change intervals?
Thanks
Joe
