I switched over at about 80,000 miles with no problems. 88Cobra, if your losing the engine next year I'd throw in some stop leak and call it good (took a 4 cyld. Cherokee I had from a quart a day habit to nothing in 1,000 miles). Course, if your switching the engine why bother to use the synthetic?
