you can use it but best get some 5w40 shell or millers/silkolene etc.

I'd put in the grade that's recommended tbh, not that castrol stuff.

I've put a litre of it in today as a top up and haven't noticed anything to be honest, not exactly an expert though....

well the castrol info book says its fine and the flip charts that recommend the oil for the car again says its fine... hmm where can i get the correct stuff from in birmingham thou?
rather not pay renault prices
all it means is the oils viscosity at lower temperatures allows it to flow round the engine quicker...

Ah is see

So it'll be safe enough to use ?

I'd go to Renault. The Elf stuff they use is fine.

The Renault reccommendation is the minimum grade to be used.

I'd try and stick with 5/40w oil really
