 Last service was yesterday and they filled "Castrol gtx pro 0w-30 C2" Is it OK to replace the usual 5-30 with 0-30 ? (both are C2). I can take up my old practice and bringning my own oil (Mobil 1 5-30)

The fuel consumption on my standard trip over Norwegian mountains has usually been very low: 0.57-0.64. But now it has risen to 0.72 (still probably OK, but...). Where should I start to look for problems ?

 UPDATE: My garage sold me a bottle of special PSA injector cleaner, (PRO Cleaner and booster for diesel) they had good experiences with that, especially on fuel consumption. Also changed engine air filter. After 500 km the average consumption had fallen from 0.74 to 0,64 (same trip)
