That depends on what kind of synthetic oil you are using. If the oil isn't really dirty, then I wouldn't worry about it. In my 2000 V40, I just switched over to German Castrol 0W-30. Since this oil is 100% synthetic, it will throughly clean the motor. I changed the oil and filter a week later, because the oil was really dirty.

It is your choice. It can't hurt.
