02 dodge neon, 2.0 4 cylinder, 130,000 miles. thinking of going with a Napa silver filter and Pennzoil high mileage 5W30 for a 3.5-4k oci. is this is a good combo or should i go with some cheap supertech 5W30 synthetic? my only fear is that it would start burning the synthetic. car isnt an oil burner as far as i know.

Nothing wrong with that setup, why not a Napa Gold filter? A lot of value! A 5k OCI wouldn't be out of the question either.
Why would it burn a synthetic? Unless the engine is sludged, it shouldn't consume any synthetic oils.

Also, you can easily extend that oci out to 5k. I had a 1995 that I sold with 182k on it, still running strong!

Yes, those 2.0L are solid engines. I use my 96' as a daily driver...average about 34mpg, 172k. I use the Napa Platinum filter and would recommend it to you for your Neon. Also the Royal Purple and Bosch D+ are also my favorites for this engine.
