What oil are you putting in your engines?
According to my handbook Citroen say
Total Quartz diesel 7000 10w-40
" " 9000 5w-40
" " 9000 5w-30
So what's the favorite?
HDi engine oil?

I imagine that the different grades are associated with expected max and min ambient temperatures?
As long as your oil meets ACEA quality B3 and the viscosity corresponds to the real ambient temperatures, you are in the clear. If you then decide to use a synthetic or semi-sythetic oil to reduce fuel consumption, yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice . . .
If you are interested in the diabolical demands placed on modern engine oils, download "AEAC European Oil Sequences" from AEAC's home page:

What makes me laugh is the very last comment (after 12 pages of complex tables) : "This list is not exhaustive"!!
