Yes, synthetic oil can be used in older diesel engines, provided it meets the required specifications and viscosity for that engine. Synthetic oils often offer better performance, improved lubrication, and enhanced thermal stability compared to conventional oils. However, it's essential to consult the engine manufacturer’s guidelines and consider any potential compatibility issues with seals and gaskets in older engines. Regular monitoring and maintenance remain crucial when making the switch.

If the engine has had a full, quality re- biuld, then use synthetic oil, and you'll get a longer life from the engine.
