As in you're just adding oil, and not draining/changing?

I don't see what it would matter. The guy who owned mine prior had put 10W30 in it, obvious leaks everywhere...so I topped it off with 20W50 to thicken it up a bit. Not a single issue.

ASDA 20W 50 is fine. Just don't expect it to last for ever. Topping up will be fine too.
