Most of the cars in our family have been picked up with about 100K on them. I've flushed with AMSOIL engine flush, changed to AMSOIL synthetic oil, and had no problems (at least nothing oil-related).
I'd recommend using a good flush, such as AMSOIL or BG. If you don't, or won't, flush, just drop in the synthetic. Watch the dipstick-- if you note a sudden increase in oil consumption, change filter and top off.
I'm partial to PAO based oils, such as AMSOIL and Mobil 1. The Group III hydrocracked base oils can approach the capabilities of PAO, but are not as capable--particularly at extremely low temps.
After changing to synthetic, beware of whiplash at the first traffic light<g>.
