I just put in the "new euro formula" into our 325iT. It said "Made in Germany," though.
A few years ago they said the same thing about North America 0w 30 and GC 0w 30. of course back than they were not even the same color. I have not seen GC at local AZ for more than a year now. All they seem to have is the much less desirable North America 0w 30.quote:
The reply "You can rest assured that Castrol SYNTEC 0w-30 available in North America, is the exact same product as Castrol SYNTEC 0w-30 manufactured in Germany"
A close by store still have plenty of pre-GC on the shelf.quote:

Shoot Ray, no need for a chill pill here! With one-hundred-thirty-something quarts of lovely green-ness stashed in my garage, my office, and my BOQ, threads like this are mere amusement to me. That said, I did happen by a couple Pensacola area AZ stores this weekend. All stock was gold, no pre-GC, no green, and none of this possibly mythical new "AC" either.quote:

So, are you just sitting back and laughing at the drama you caused. This is all a hoax. GC is still GC. The only USA made Castrol 0w30 was made back in 2001.quote:

and what was the formulation of the new American made 0w30
The reply "You can rest assured that Castrol SYNTEC 0w-30 available in North America, is the exact same product as Castrol SYNTEC 0w-30 manufactured in Germany"
Consumer Relations
Castrol North America
So... do we now have AC (American Castrol)???
Why???quote:
