Only if the engine has low miles or no sludge build up - synthetic oil captures the carbon within its molecules and if there is to much carbon buildup (sludge) it will release the carbon into the molecules of the synthetic oil and run it through the engine - once the filter is bypassing there is nothing to keep the "liquid sandpaper" from wiping out the bearings.
