Castrol Syntec 20W50 is some hard stuff to find. Granted I live in a
small town (about 60,000), but there's only one store here that sells
it, and that is a Wal-Mart. We have 3 Checker stores, 2 autozones, 2
NAPA stores, carquest, and numerous other small stores, and even 2 Wal
Mart's, but only one Wal Mart carries 20W50 Syntec.
You can find 5W50 just about anywhere though. Since you don't need to
be worried much about cold viscosity, it should do fine.

Castrol Syntec 20W50 is the oil I plan to start using this fall in
my MGBGT
and Spitfire.
I called Castrol Canada earlier this summer and at that time they
told it
was not available in Canada. I happen to live on the border with
the
States so shall venture over and pick up a case.
Personally, I wouldn't use racing oil in a non-racing car. Racing
oil does
not have the additive package that a normal oil does because racing
oil is
designed for a completely different "environment" than non-racing
oil and
will not give the same level of protection.
