Regular or Synthetic Oil?

Hi All,

Roush 402R engine, Mileage 2100. (Street driven, not too hard) It's time for my first oil change (since I bought the car last fall) and Roush says I can switch to full synthetic now, if I choose.

From a little research on CC, I was going to use Valvoline VR1 for the oil and a Wix 51622 oil filter. I was planning on waiting til 3000 miles before possibly switching to synthetic but I now have the Roush green light.

So, do I stick with the Valvoline VR1 or go to fully synthetic (and if so, what brand and why)?

Thanks in advance for your time & knowledge!
