I checked Castrol's web site where they have different country products and it appears there is this classic oil available for example in Germany but not in the US



Castrol CLASSIC OIL XL SAE 20W-50
For pre-1980 modern classic cars

A conventional multigrade engine oil of good all round performance, formulated with high quality mineral oils plus selected additives, ideally suited to older technology and classic car engines.

Here are the specsgiven

SAE 20W-50

this is a good web site under the Ireland section that discusses a lot of classic car oil issues.
