Should I change our Volvo over to synthetic oil?

Howdy all,
I've been running Mobile 1 in my '97 900s since I bought it at 33K (now for sale in the classifieds!). We came into a Volvo 850 non-turbo last year at about 80K miles. It was dealer serviced its whole life. It now has 98K on it, and I need to change the oil. I'm pretty sure its been on dino oil. I didn't have problems switching to synthetic in the SAAB, but that was at much lower miles. Should I bother, or just leave it alone? It is a lower compression engine (9something to 1 i think) than the 900s. If anything, I'm going to go up to 5 or 10w 40 dino.
Thanks!
