edde said any 40 grade is fine
0-40 is fine its a bit thin for the Uk climate but protects down to silly low temps
5 weight oil protects down to -25 degress 0 wirhts is even more fluid at low temps.
The 40 grade is fine ideal in the Uk climate for Clios for road use.
You might fine the 0-40 oil does need topping up a bit as it will leak out the seals and gasgets as its so fluid when cold but that not a problem it helps protect the engine.

ok i will go with 0w40 edge sport then
no no no no no
shell helix ultra.
with the edge stuff you will be getting high temps and low pressures, especially if you do a lot of track miles...trust me.
i only did about 400 miles with it in, oil press never went above 3 bar, and within 5 mins of driving steady was up at 120 deg.
any hard driving for a prolonged amount of time will break the oil down massively and give very little protection
