If it is not written on the oil cap then you don’t need C2/C3 oil. Mine has a filter and it is printed on the oil filler cap that C2/3 is mandatory otherwise the sulphate ash or what kills the filter. It was mandatory from n-th month of 2018 in every newly sold petrol vehicle in the Europen Union.as far as i know 1.5turbo petrol engine dont have diesel particulate filter, so i dont see why i would use oil for DPF filter, i just use Castrol edge titanium 0w-30 ACEA A3 oil witch has higher HTHS rating than oil what service is using (shell helix ultra 0w-20) HTHS rating is how strong oil film is....
so i got lower wear with A3 oil, but consumption got up a little maybe 0.2l/100km...
and weekly i do some spirited driving where oil gets hot and oil gets even thinner when hot, and i plan to keep this car for 10-15years thats why i will never miss any service
Consider yourself lucky.
