Actually, yes you can......but you are wasting your money. Mixing the two reduces, significantly, the positive effects of the synthetic oil. Only do it if you have to, but they are compatible.

If your engine leaks oil, no you should not use synthetic oil because it will clean sludge and can make the leak worse. If your engine does not leak oil, I would highly recomend using synthetic oil(Pennzoil Ultra 10W30 from Walmart is a good and pretty cheap choice).

What kind of oil is the best oil to use?
It is always best to use the oil recommended by your vehicle manufacture.

But if your engine was designed around conventional, then you can upgrade to synthetic. Synthetic has advantages as being better at cleaning and protection your engine, but if you have a higher mileage vehicle, synthetic can cause leakage of the gaskets and oil seals.
