Well, most lieky you would be fine. I personally would use the synthetic. All you have to do is check it after 1000 miles. That's not too hard. If the oil level is on full, you're probably ok. But I have been checking my oil on my VW Jetta every 1000 miles because I want to make sure it likes it. Check it every 1000 miles on your trip. If it does have a problem, just get some regular oil and keep putting that in until you can change it back to regular. But I doubt you will have a problem with it.... as long as you kept up with oil changes. I have had 3 higher mileage cars that didn't have a problem what-so-ever. I had a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and I started using Mobil1 5-30 in it at 174K miles. I just started using it in my grandmother's 1997 Subaru Outback at 175K miles. I also just started it on our 1996 VW Jetta at 124K miles. Hopefully I have been of help to you. I would reccomend 10-30 for summer and 5-30 for winter.
