How many miles to you have on the car? If you have more than about 20k I would slowly transition to synthetic. Synthetic oil has the tendancy to find every loose gasket and seal on a motor with some miles on it.

If you want to clean out your engine real good, this is the product I highly recommend:
Auto-rx
(only available via their website, do a google search to find it since they aren't a sponsor here)
