Citroen c3 1.6 hdi no dpf oil type

[pauljbl]

I have a Citroen c3 1.6 hdi 2005 90hp no dpf

Most people seem to use 5w30 but on recommendation from a oil site they reckon 5w40 is better and will burn less oil.
What is best for this car is the turbocharger safe with 5w40 as read it can get starved. But thought 5w40 might be good as high mileage. In the manual it states both are fine for this engine

Can anyone recommend.
Thanks

With a high mileage engine and hence everything loosened up I'd use 5w40 every time.

Will the turbocharger be ok with that oil on this engine as prone to starvation

As it is included in your manual I don't see why not.
