It will be fine.Just change your oil regularly and check the sight glass for level often.

i used mineral oil 10w40 in my Renault 19 16v years ago, no problem. I was told by a mechanic friend that generally mineral oil breaks down quicker than semi synthetic, so you just change it sooner than you would if running semi syn(in my car i changed at 6-7k instead of 10k), and it isn't as good at dealing with heat so if you work your engine hard then maybe better to just put semi syn in, but if its just the usual commute and stuff then don't worry.

I've been using that exact oil on my k7 since new and she's done 26k now and the engine hasn't skipped a heartbeat. Just keep an eye on the level tho.
