full synthetic or not on 06 v70 turbo?

I just got an '06 V70 2.5T and it now has 37K on it. Previous owner did changes every 5K with dino. I'm thinking of putting mobil 1 in it, but also plan to do changes every 5K. Is it worth going fully synthetic? Note: 80 percent of driving is going over 70 mph on the freeway for 3.5 hours at a time (and it gets 29 mpg!).

Full synthetic only! But with your driving style, you can easily go 7500 miles before oil changes.
