I just bought this car, and it is 5k overdue for an oil change. It has run 5w30 dino oil as of last oil change, I know nothing about the history of the car.
Planning an oil change in the near future, so I bought 5L of Mobil 1 full synthetic, thinking the all-aluminum Honda 3.5L engine would appreciate it.
I also bought a filter, Wix brand, and I'm debating taking it back and grabbing one from the Dealer... thoughts?
Thoughts on putting full synthetic oil in an engine with 158k miles? (255k km) Or should I stick with a good brand 5w30 dino?
I'm hoping to keep this car a long time so I want to make sure I'm taking the best care of the engine as I can!
Thanks for any help

Figured I should give some more info...
I do mostly city driving, it's probably 70/30 mix of city to highway, I drive very easy (looking for optimum fuel economy) most of the time, rarely accelerate hard.
I plan to change the oil 5000km (3000 miles) intervals.
I live in Kelowna, BC, Canada, where summer temps can break 35C (95F) in the summer and dip to -20C (0F)
