GTX is semi synthetic. Castrol Classic is the mineral based stuff. GTX is is A3 and B4 grade oil which is spec'd for modern engines, both petrol and diesel so its fine for use with most cars on this website

If that doesn't work (I'm on phone and it looks massive) just stick GTX into google, should clear things up.

Your wasting your money with the plugs. They should last you at least 40k.

And rotaries. Can't use synthetics. It's about the only cheap thing you can buy relating to RX7s...
