no as you may end up with a sluged up engine and the 10w/40 will reduce the life of your turbo and make the engine louder and less powerfull

Re: not46 related
which grade do you suggest
Re: not46 related
Use the 5w30 fully synthetic in those engines, as mentioned already, it's very important!
Re: not46 related
iagree, with the above,
Dont use the wrong oil mate,
This is why people end up with turbo run-away on the Dci
also when you put the new oil in, dont start the engine for atleast 10 -15 mins give it chance to settle,
And make sure you put the correct amount in, park it on alevel when filling it !
