5w30 for the 1.9D?

imac · Dec 7th, 2006, 18:48

I have a vast quantity of 5w30 fully synth oil, it meets the ACEA requirements for the 1.9D engine (B3/B4 and above) and is rated for Diesel.

(I originally bought it for my D5)

Is this an appropriate oil grade for the 1.9D engine? The handbook makes no mention of what oil grades to use..!

10w/40 for moderate climate, 5w/40 for cold and15w/40 for hot climate are the recommended specs for that engine.
