It's okay to use Synthetic oil on any vehicle but bare in mind, if your vehicle has previously run on regular oil you will need to drain all the oil out completely in order to switch to synthetic, once you run on synthetic oil though you have to keep the oil synthetic because switching between different types of oil will really mess up your vehicle.
