Thanks for the replies.
According to what Peugeot put online, the THP engine in my car needs 0w30 synthetic, which is what's already in there, so all is good. Except it's getting old so I need to change it anyway.
jdmccright, yes I'm sure I'm in fifth! I'm thinking the 207 rc was tuned more for twisty roads than high speed cruising. Which is good because it forces me to drive at a speed safe for the current blazing heat and also reduces my chance of getting tickets
As for heel-and-toe, yeah I don't using for daily driving ofcourse. But haven't you ever wondered how fast you can go around that hairpin corner? I know I have. That's why I got a hothatch instead of a civic
