I've got a 1.5 diesel Megane, specs A3/B3 ACEA I think. It doesn't specifically mention diesel engines but it meets the spec therefore I reckon it's fine?

Cheers

Tried putting the reg in? Or tried putting the reg in Euro Car Parts (a bit more trusted) to see what options it gives you?

It meets Renault RN700/710 which is probably the specification your car needs, it should say in the handbook if you have it

If it meets the spec, the fact that it doesn't say 'diesel' on the packaging is not at all relevant.

same company and same database.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Iv have used cheap 10/40 standard oil in my dads 05 plate 1.9 td Laguna for over 100k and it has been fine (on 140k now )

I'm sure it will be fine however if you want to be 100% look on the opie oils website
