I don't think it hurts to use synthetic, other than some say it lengthens the time to fully break in the motor. FWIW, I use Castrol GTX in my 4s. Coincidentally, when I bought my oil filter, the mechanic also recommended that same oil. He must have felt strongly about it because I didn't ask for his advice.

I normally use Lubrimatic LU oil, and sometimes use regular name brand gear oil. Your owners manual will indicate the minimum API requirement for your crankcase and LU oil.

Best regards,
Roger
