Default What weight oil for low mileage ls1?

I just recently purchased my first ls1 and it's almost time for my first oil change. Its a 2002 Z28 with about 15000 miles on her. I'm not exactly sure what the previos owner was running, so what should I run in it? Is it ok to run a full synthetic so soon?

5w40 Amsoil here.

Weight is going to vary by brand, they are not all equal.
