0w30 is very noisy it seems watery to me. 5w30 is perfect match. STELLANTIS FPW9.55535/03 is the spec. of oil. I strongly recommend you Ravenol VMP 5w30.
So, what is the recommendation for this engine with 8mm chain? 0W30 or 5W30?

If you are not living in very cold country, choose 5w30 STELLANTIS FPW9.55535/03. (This what I recommend you if you consider silence of engine and protection) But if you live in very cold country e.g. -20, -30 C, then choose 0w30 PSA B71 2312.
According to my experience with 1.5 bluehdi engines, high quality 5w30 is perfect match.
