Can I use a semi-synthetic oil in my Volkswagen Caddy TDI?

I have a 2006 Volkswagen Caddy TDI and I changed the oil in it last week. I used a semi-synthetic oil in it. Is this the correct oil I should be using?

It's a Pumpe Duse engine so requires special oil. See www.millersoils.co.uk

You repeatedly recommend to change the engine oil more frequently, ie every six months. On your website under 'Running in a diesel' you say "Leave factory fill of oil for the first year or 10,000 miles."...
Please can you tell me how often should I get the oil and oil filter changed on my 2003 Peugeot 206 SW? Should I get the air filter done at the same time?
