I can't find any mention of this oil or an equivalent


BP/Castrol say Energol oils are part of their legacy range and being
phased out, I had a nose around on their website, they seemed to suggest
Alpha SP as replacement

But looks like you'll have to choose between going up, or down on the
viscosity ... maybe contact them?
