I would, don't see any good reason why not to. Both are synthetic and virtually the same grade.

Halfords now sell the 10/60 Mobil 1 too case you didn't know, not sure if that would be better or not?!

Either way any oil is better than none!!

At the very least it will be fine to get you home. Then you can change the oil and filter later once you can buy your preferred oil.

It's best to check before you do anything like that, just was a bit reluctant that's all
