I changed my '96 CSE to synthetic after the PO had it on 3-4K dino changes for 90K miles. No leaks here 60K later with synthetic oil changed at 5-7K.
Ditto for my daughter's '95 CS, which had had dino oil changed every 3-5K for 138K miles. No leaks or oil consumption at all in the past 20K miles.
The most you might want to do is do the first change of synth a bit sooner than 5K, but it's not really necessary.
Do your coolant every 2 years. Ditto for your brake fluid.
Don't bother with the 82C stat, unless it's always hot where you live.
