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). As long as your engine does not leak oil using synthetic oil is a great choice regardless of how old it is.

Which oil is better for small engines like 70cc engine?

If it is a 2 cycle engine then use only 2 cycle oil. If it is a 4 cycle then SAE 10w30 is commonly used in these small engines. Consult your owners manual for the exact oil you should use. I do highly recommend synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.
