If it's the Castrol Magnatec 10/40 then it's more than fine and one of the recommended oils for the CC. I used it for 3 years in a 206CC and also in my 350Z.

Castrol GTX 10W-40 is a mineral engine oil and this viscosity is widely recommended for a variety of engines manufactured since 1990. The reason I wouldn't use it is because I've only used fully synthetic in my car since it was new and I wouldn't want to mix mineral oil with it.
Double the frequency of oil and filter changes if you do switch to mineral oil.
