Default B5 oil spec in an 03 d5

Sorry for duplicate post but thought this forum would be best!

I have Been looking at euro car parts (pol25 discount code gives yo 25% saving) and opi oils.....

i have found this stuff ...fuuchs TITAN synthetic XTR 5w-30 High Performance Fuel Economy which is A5/B5 spec (£23 squid for 5L).

My D5 will take B4 5/30 and 10/40 according to handbook.

I assume its OK to use the higher spec oil in my D5 ????? 7L of the stuff plus a UFI filter comes in at £47.82.

seems very cheap?? I know fuuchs oil is well regarded and been around for a while and would prefer to use this than the carlube stuff on euro parts which is a bit cheaper.

Cheers!

It'll be fine, however 0w/30 would be better.
