at that low mileage, by all means change. If you aren't really sure about previous maintenance, use a good engine flush such as made by AMSOIL or BG before changing. If you don't, or won't, flush, then watch for any indication of sudden increase in oil consumption after a few thousand miles. If you see this, change filter and top off. You also may want to drain the first batch of synthetic after 5,000 miles (particularly if you don't flush). Having said that, when I bought my 88 9KT it had 87,000 miles on it. Shop dropped in a batch of AMSOIL 10W-30 without a flush. No problems, changed after a year (about 10K).
