5w30 C3 instead of 5w30 A5

Hi Guys
Need advice
I am about to change engine oil. Td4 no DPF so Basically With 5w30 A5
I used to use the Castrol A5 Magnatec.
Castrol Morocco says that they dont import the 5w30 anymore and states that I can use the 5w30 C3 as It « convers » the A5.
Do you think they are right or i’d better look for another brand With A5 spec ?
Thx

They are right. You can use it without problems.
Also, considering your (hot) zone, you can use 5W40 without problems. I am already using it for some time. (Castrol 5W40, Edge Turbo Diesel)
The original PSA engine was designed with 5W40, A3/B4, PSA2296 norm in mind.
