lots of comments below.. typical of any oil discussion.
depends on what you call "OLDER". if its pre 1970 maybe not. they pretty much quit using hemp gaskets around 1960ish. the "ish" is what i'm not sure of date wise.
synthetic oils do NOT work with hemp gaskets if the "OLDER" equipment has them. it WILL leak. if the gaskets were replaced with modern materials you should be ok.
another thing to watch for if switching to synthetics (at least with AMSOIL) is that it will clean the motor out removing the varnish and other deposits. not an issue other than it could make bad seals (seals that were using dirt to hold the oil in) leak and could plug a filter with all the "dirt" if that happens change the filter and you should be good to go.
