Unless it's got a rebuilt, low mile engine, stick with dino oil.
The finer molecular structure of synthetics will slip past worn rings and valve seals.

Thanks, you might have saved me quite the headache. Would you consider 125k a "low mile engine"?

No.. but thats not too bad. The synthetic/dino blends would probably be OK. Keep up with the oil changes
Later, if you decide to rebuild use synthetic from the beginning.
