It's based on the United States military system of oil classification.
API = American Petroleum Institute
S stands for 'Spark' and denotes a petrol engine. H denotes the performance of the oil. SH being the highest and SA the lowest

Oil is rated by quality, 'A' being very poor, I have never seen oil rated better than SL, most general purpose oil is SJ these days.
So a decent semi synthetic halfords oil will exceed your requirement.

Well, being of a tight fisted persuasion, I usually tend to stick with a grade of oil best referred to as a PISH oil.
Don't think that'll be too similar.
