Your car has high mileage. But if you don't have any leaks or anything then you can go ahead and use synthetic. On old cars it's not recommended to do flushes.. Just a drain and refill if anything.

Just for my knowledge, are there any seals in a tranny to cause leaks once the false seal is broken down?
