Lancia Prisma 1.9 td oil type ?

Hi all,
I'm due for an oil change pretty soon. and I wanted to ask for advice on the oil type.
The previus owner of my car used only Castrol 15w40 and I now have Esso Diesel 10w40.
Should I stick with the 10w40 grade, considering that the turbocharger is better lubricated with semi synth oil ? Or should I use 15w40 and reduce oil burning
My car has ~200.000 kms and it burns some oil ~300ml/1000 km.
I'm also considering adding Duralube at this oil change .

Any advice?
Thanks a lot.
