If the oil level is in between the min and max levels you're fine. If you think the car will consume enough during your coast trip to fall below min level - then top up (to max level) before you leave.
I would not make the switch to synthetic oil at this point in the car's life. Keep using what you've been using. And I'd go to a change cycle that changes the oil every 6 months or 4-5 thousand miles, whichever comes first.
And since it seems like you don't put a lot of miles on it -- when you do drive it or even start it, be sure you take it out for a good 20-30 minute drive. Long enough to fully warm all fluids to operating temperature. This will drive all the condensate (water from condensation) out of the crankcase/oil and dry out the condensate in the exhaust system.
