It'll be fine, just abit thick when cold. ideally you want 10w30 part syntetic.

10w40 semi synthetic is the norm, the alternative is 5w40 fully synthetic.

Yup just over 3yrs since it was changed going off the paperwork,
Lukily its always been a low mileage use car so mostprobs why its lasted so long,
