The best source I can find is here

and apparently those guys are okay with it (for roller tappet with the new GTX).
Castrol is fine, I think people get a little to worked up over the brand of oil. It;s not like these cars go 7k miles between oil changes. I cant remember where I found it but the test I saw had castrol performing pretty well. I run 15w40 diesel castrol.
