I was a little surprised by the oil selection as well. To paraphrase, their reasoning is that 5W30 semi-synth is the recommended oil for the car and they have never seen sludging with cars they have regularly serviced with this oil.
Furthermore, the Aero had full synthetic with its previous owner and it was horribly sludged-up, so full synth is no guarranty.
I intend to change it at 4k to 5k intervals and the vast majority of my driving will get the engine up to temp quite easily. I'll probably change it to full synth at 1k or so.
It took SI 7 business days to complete the repairs, much faster than I anticipated.
