YD25DDTi engine WITH Diesel Particulate Filter
Genuine Nissan Motor oil 5W30 DPF*1
or ACEA C3 and C4 LOW ASH HTHS 3.5, Viscosity SAE 5W-30*1
 
No, because C3 is for the DPF engine. But it will work, surely. But its not the correct choise.
Yes because oils are specified by the API and the ACEA in alphanumeric order so whilst your right in saying its not a DPF vehicle it actually exceeds the specification required but the C3 oil also has an improved service life so will be better for the internals.

Do not buy oil by viscosity alone always use the API or ACEA for the correct oil, the SAE test is purely a flow test measured in either kinetic or rotary manner to give a viscosity rating against a known control oil

Thanks for the replies.
From what I am gathering, it should be fine for my engine.
I thought the oil was a good price.
