Yup I also use Castrol Edge, as mentioned above.
Try looking in Homebase though - I got it half price at Homebase in a promotion so stocked up! lol

Just some info, you should NEVER let your engine oil get so low that it causes the oil light to come on. Make sure you check regularly via the dipstick and top up as required.
