Not just can, but should. Ford recomends full synthetic for both the V6 Duratec and the I4 Zetec.

The correct oil weight is now 5W20; it used to be 5W30, but Ford has recently allowed your engine to use 5W20 as an energy saving oil. If you don't use synthetic oil, stick with the 5W30; non-synthetic 5W20 will burn out your engine faster than non-synthetic 5W30.
