Thinking of changing the oil in my ducato 2.8 JTD 2003 this weekend.  Any 
ideas if using fully synthetic such as Total 9000 would be an advantage over 
semi-syth as used in the past  Thanks

No advantage, this generation of engine isn't designed for it.  The oil gets 
contaminated by the products of combustion and needs changing at the same 
time regardless of what oil you put in it.
