maybe with all highway you can get away with it? have you done an oil analysis to confirm that the oil is still ok after 15k? 2004 does at least have the better pcv system, but we have seen before that following the owners manual often isn't good enough. changing oil soon enough is very very important, especially in these engines with the fine screens and the heat from the cat on the oil pan... without an oil analysis, you won't know! changing the oil too infrequently is a much bigger waste of money if you end up down the road of a sludged engine!
fwiw, my indy doesn't think synth is necessary in these cars: most important is to change the oil very frequently. he has several 300k+ 9-5 owners. I do use Mobil 1 0w40 every 5k.
