Hi,
I was wondering what bitog crowd would do when for a 2017+ euro6 DV5 engine (BlueHDi 1.5 130hp with DPF and SCR), the only oil specified by the manufacturer is 0W20 PSA B71 2010 on top of ACEA C5, is it safe for the engine to run a 5W30 C3, or C2 if it's changed on short intervals (no long-life) when the car isn't short tripped and we only have warm weather here.
B71 2010 + C5 are mid SAPS oils, with low HTHS (2.65 on the Yacco LUBE P 0W20). Is there still a benefit in engine wear to go with higher HTHS than recommended ?
I'd personally go with any 5W30 C3 and change oil every 10000-15000km rather than the "up to 40000km/2 years" flexible interval.
