I was planning on the same schedule for the Evo.

What's your guys' opinion on putting synthetic in a higher mileage motor? Is the fear of doing that real or imagined? I ask because Amsoil advertises their 0w30 as having a 17,500 mile change interval on motors with more than 100k miles on it. Throwing that in my beater and changing it once per year is kind of appealing.
