Castrol will 20W50 will be fine. It is one of the two oils I regularly use in my British cars.

That should be fine for your car. You need a mineral 20w50, not a synthetic, so just check that the GTX is a mineral oil. It certainly used to be, but if it is synthetic you need the Castrol Classic 20w50 which is definitely a mineral oil.
