Yup! Just be sure and change the filter at the same time. And you should
be aware that on an older engine where the seals have some age on them
the synthetics may or may not make them weep or even leak a bit. I run
Mobil One 15W50 sybthetic. have now for several years. Works great and
tends to keep my Vanagon Lifter  Syndrome at bay better than others.
BTW, the Mahle filters seem to work best for these machines.
