The Green is Back with a VENGEANCE

Some of you may have seen my post about a Castrol Distributor 2 miles from my house, well I stopped by today and they were unloading some Castrol 0W-30 (sort of a new label).

I tried to buy some, but they said it was all due to be shipped to local Autozones for restocking once their sale is over with. I did notice a slightly damaged pallet, and they let me take a pic of one of the bottles:

Can it be

Interesting turn of events.

What's the date code ?

 

[ssj4]

well like I said, they didn't let me take any away, and I didn't write down the code, but it was definitely M07 something.

Come on guys, don't be so gullible. Remember today is April 1st.

april shmapril, that green oil that you see is the real deal.

So. This is Castrol 0w-30, with "made in germany" written on the back? It has the newer bottle type, with "European Formula" in the yellow box. And it has a 2007 date code on the bottom? And it's GREEN?

The word Castrol looks like it is half white and half gold. I have 2006 GC and the word Castrol is all white.

If this is the new SM rated German Castrol, thank you for showing us. I really appreciate it.

After doing some net searching. I really hope this is Castrol Edge 0W-30, but repackaged for the american market. Some one, hopefully, would take one sample to the Gas Chromatograph (like we did with GC green & GC gold).

This might make things interesting, there would be "New Green" and "Old Green" GC.

If this is some type of April Fools joke, I hope you get banned.

How did you do the two-tone color scheme (white and tan) on the large "SYNTEC" on the front of the bottle?

 

[Roy Gutfinski]

You bad! I haven't seen that shade of green since Linda Blair lost her lunch while her head spun around in The Exorcist!

 

[Buffman]

Yep, Photoshop. I had planned on making it say "German Formula" in the red and yellow spot, but I thought that would be a little too much
