Thats what I have been using in the past. It was OK when the cars were new, - but it seems a bit thin when the miles start to build up. You might find the oil consumption is on the high side but it shouldn't do any harm.
I've got Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w50 for mine now based on a few recommendations. I couldn't fine Silkolene locally. I'll report back how it gets on but I expect I won't have to top up as often.
