Tire rotation question

guys, getting ready to do some maintenance on the 250. If I rotate the tires, do I drop the fronts to the rear and then cross the rears to the front (i.e.: left rear goes on right front)?

Putting all new filters in her (air/oil/fuel) and changing to synthetic oil.

Correct on the tires as long as it's a single rear wheel which I think you have. As far as the filters, whats your mileage? I do my oil every 5K, fuel filters at 10K, and air filter at 15K.

I just turned 16K. I dragged the trailer from Illinois to Florida to Colorado to Iowa this summer as part of my PCS leave. I need to change the oil (although I have not yet gotten the notification). I have been changing it at 5K intervals. I am at 6K so far and will swap to synthetic. Pulling the Airstream up Berthoud pass in Colorado this summer I watched the oil temp hit 240. I know that is within the design parameters but I would have felt a LOT better had it been synthetic. With winter coming on in Iowa I want to ensure I have new "stuff" in there.
