Depends. Depends on whether you have a turbo or non-turbo (yes, I see you have a turbo.
Depends on the kind of driving you do.
Depends on the brand of synthetic.
In general, any synthetic should be able to last at least as long as the factory recommended drain interval. The better ones, such as AMSOIL and Mobil 1, should be able to last longer.
My daughter is using AMSOIL 0W-30 in her 1995 SET. Filter change at 5,000/6 months, oil plus filter at 10,000 miles/year.
If you are concerned, send a sample to the lab after 5,000 miles or so and see what is up.
