Bit confused as it say semi synthetic under the oil type section right at bottom but specs are right.

Am I better off with this fully synthetic stuff that's LR approved?

All the LR techs I know say stick with fully synth. I hvae sone that fir my Td5 and my RR SC as they are both all aluminum.

The manual says so long as it meets the spec, however I also go with fully synth and I use no dino oil in my motor.

Users manual and shop manual spec:

Td5 diesel engine sump 5W/30 5W/40, 5W/50
Oil to meet

HX7 is semi synthetic, Clever marketing as it says Synthetic technology.

Helix ultra professional is fully synthetic.
