So long as it is 10w-40 and B3 it'll be fine.

Its a 15w40 semi synthetic which I think is ok

Regular changes of a cheap oil is better than longer service intervals of an expensive oil. I run cheap supermarket engine oil without a problem and change every 4000 miles (roughly every 9 months for me)

I run OMD 90 through mine. Great oil and it's free to anyone in the armed forces :-D
