   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.
