If you're using regular oil now I wouldn't change, synthetic oil is very viscous so it leaks easily also what they don't tell you is you may be able to drive 10,000 miles but you still need to change the filter at the regular interval also I've seen side by side tests with engines going 200,000 miles and the difference between synthetic and regular oil was that they both demonstrated the same wear.

I see no problem but if Chevy specs synthetic, use it.
