I switched to Mobil-1 at 10K but any synthetic would serve you well.
My inner self tells me that if the car is daily driven, regular oil would serve just as well if changed at shorter intervals. Switch to a synthetic for a little added peace of mind.

you have a dip stick, when you get to 5 quarts just measure and top off as neccessary. on your 2007, you have an oil life meter, so use it, and you won't have to worry about intervals between changing your oil
