I think your supposed to run about another 170k miles, up to the 200k mark before you run a synthetic. Kind of like a Mercedes Benz Diesel but faster. 
Go ahead and switch, better now than never.

There are many myths regarding synth' motor oil, one of 'em being "you gotta break the engine in with regular motor oil for the first 'x' number of miles, THEN shift to synthetic". Not true; I've done, at least, 4 or 5 searches on it, plus read an article on CR a few years back, and discovered that many automakers deliver their vehicles with synth' oil from the factory! So, go for it, and start benefiting your motor with it, dude!
