YES or NO

Like with many things in life, there are no guarantees.
Well, you likely will not damage your engine, but specs like ILSAC GF4/GF5 and ACEA C3 (which 300V does not meet) have maximum limits on phosphorus as to prolong catalytic converter life. IMO, you would need to be burning a fair amount of oil for it to get to your cats in the first place.
I've run nothing but GF4 and GF5 oil in my naturally aspirated 2000 Impreza 2.5RS and had to have the cats replaced. OTOH, I've run mainly higher SAPS oil in my 2004 Forester XT and haven't had any problems. One gentleman on bobistheoilguy.com has been running high ZDDP HDEO/diesel oil in petrol cars since the 1960's with no problems!
