Once your rings are seated there's no reason you can't run synthetic, why wait til 35k? Paul hooked me up with some Motul full synthetic and I have no complaints, no oil consumption after 4k miles at 330 WHP.

Castrol GTX or Valvoline is what I'd use for conventional oil, 5w30. I used GTX for first 10K or so (changed at 1K for first time), then switched to Valvoline MaxLife full synthetic 5w30. I'm at 60K now, no unusual oil consumption, I do oil changes every 4-5K. I use old black Subaru oil filters, I stocked up on them before they went extinct.
Last time I did an oil change, I used Shell Rotella 5w40 full synthetic, I'll be running that from now on. Rotella also comes in conventional form, cheap good oil. Valvoline MaxLife also comes in a blend, that stuff is good too.
