@ 500 miles you should be ok to switch to synthetic, as long as your motor was properly tuned upon startup... (a/f ratio, timing, fuel pressure) to properly break-in a new motor would be to have it tuned on a dyno w/wideband, and run the motor hard, so that the piston rings will seat fast...

You can go ahead and switch.

Pull all of your plugs and shine a flash light down into the cylinder. If you see oil on top of the pistons, do not switch yet. If they are dry, go ahead and switch to synthetic.
