Can anyone tell me if it's acceptable to use Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W-30 when I replace the oil in my Onan Marquis Gold 5500 Gen set?

Can't see where it would be a problem but figured I'd lean on the collective experience of this wise group to make sure.

That's what I ran in my gas generator and I will be putting synthetic in my diesel gen. on the next change.

I've used 10W-40 Amsoil synthetic oil in my Onan 5500 for many years.
