Halfords 5W/30 Ford fully synthetic motor oil

[coalport]

I bought some of the above Halfords oil at a discounted sale price, I noticed on the container it stated for Fords 2006 onwards, I asked the sales assistant if it would be ok for a 2001 Ford and she said it'll be fine, as I have a 2001 Endura DI diesel Focus I thought I'd double check before I used it, up till now I've used Halfords 5W/30 part synthetic, I emailed the Halfords help line with no reply then tried the Comma oils helpline as I was told a while back that all Halfords oil comes from Comma, again no reply so I thought I'd ask on the forum so

Do you think it'll be ok to use 5W/30 fully synthetic engine oil in a 2001 Endura DI diesel engine,   thanks John

Just about every source I have looked at says fully synth. can be used in place of semi-synth. (With the same viscosity ratings, as you have said.)

One source suggested oil use (amount of oil burnt) could increase, but I think this would only be likely if the engine was already burning a fair bit of oil.

Thanks for the reply Peter
