... if only because I hadn't previously known about C4 and C5 oils.
Important bit wrote:
LOW-SAPS VS. MID-SAPS LUBRICANTS
C1 and C4 are considered to be low-SAPS oils, while C2, C3, and C5 are mid-SAPS oils.
Mid-SAPS oils have a reduced level of ash content. Therefore, they are better than conventional engine lubricants and are after-treatment system-friendly. Low-SAPS oils have a lower level of ash content than mid-SAPS oils and are designed to meet sensitive after-treatment devices.

Are you unhappy with Castrol? Or do you wish for something more economical?
Can’t say much about prices in RSA in general but magnatec is here around 8-9 eur/liter and MANNOL Energy Formula FR 5W-30 7707, which I have used a lot recently, is around 4 eur/liter. The latter is ACEA A5/B5 API SN ILSAC GF 4 and fully synthetic. As long the oil claims to match WSS-M2C913-D you should be fine. -D is backwards compatible with A, B and C.
