no there isnt im afraid, however in the real world i would not worry to much about it, for example valvoline synpower which is a not a true synthetic strictly speaking, performs almost as well as that benchmark oil, mobil 1, as for halfords im sure it also will be an excellent oil and as you change it at very short intervals i would not worry at all, incidently some time ago i rebuilt my old 850 t5 motor which expired due to a failed belt tensioner after 180k miles running solely on mineral oil and it showed almost no wear whatsoever in the bores, crank, cams etc which just shows how good even "inferior" mineral oils are these days
