Does anybody know when is the right time to change from conventional motor oil to synthetic (Mobil 1)?

Volvo recommends to wait until your "first scheduled service", which is (if you drive the car in the city or a lot of stop 'n go conditions, at about 3,750 miles.

I changed my oil and filter (w/ conventional) at 1,400 miles and then at 3,750. Then I switched to Mobil 1 which I have been using ever since (14,880 miles at present).

Oil and filter change, tire rotation, and there is a list of about 20 items that are checked. Cost varis from Retailer to Retailer; $90 to $150.
