Well maybe. Just had a look at the Penrite website which recommends HPR Diesel 5. However, it also says that cars with a DPF, which the TDCi has, should use a different oil. A bit confusing really.
Mohit is correct; if the oil meets the Ford spec for your car, then it will not void the engine warranty. But then the corollary is also true - if it meets the Ford spec, then it should be fine for your engine. Although from experience, I certainly wouldn't rely on your dealer to use the correct oil - ask them exactly which oil they will use in your car and check that it meets the spec in your handbook.
