I would use it. I use it in everything. Our CAT motors get nothing but that oil and we abuse the chit out of em and change it every 15k. They are used 10xs harder than you will ever use your motor.

I use it in my supercharged engines, roller cams. Real good oil. I'd only worry about not running the syn if you oil temps go above 250f on a hard run. Syn take high temps better than dino oils.
