no, it wont harm anything.

i just dont like castrol right now due to theur synthetic policies. They are synthetic by % volume, not by content. Mobil took them to court a while ago but catrol won and were allowed to use the synthetic term. Then there was a scare that mobil and other serious oil companies would move te same practice to save some bucks.

so from all this what oil we going 4 mobil elf castrol ...

still doesnt really matter what you go for as all specs of that oil will have to be freely available.

But typically the competition 10w40 semi from elf available at Ren is good stuff. You can spend more on better oils, but you really dont need to.
