Update ECU/DIC when changing from Dino to Synthetic on V6?

I read somewhere (which I of course cannot find now), that the Computer needs to be updated/changed to recognize the oil is Synthetic so that the life meter is accurate.

Can anyone definitively tell me if this is true, and if so, how to do it?

Thanks in advance!
