German Castrol question.....(PICS INSIDE)
I went to my local Autozone, and they had the German Castrol in stock......but they only had 6 quarts. Anyway, I was looking at the bottles, and they have two different ones.....Here they are:
I know the one on the left is the right one...but what about the one on the right??
Here is a close up of the one on the left, which we know is German Castrol...
And here is a c lose up of the one on the right, which I am in question about.....But it does say made in Germany!!!
Any ideas, or input?? I am not going to put this in if it isn't the actual stuff!
Thanks again for your help!!

(P.S. - If this is the right stuff, I am going to go buy them out, they had like 14 quarts of it!!!)

GC means German Castrol. GC only comes in 0w30. the 5w30 is made in the US and is not the same stuff.
Yes, for sure, GC is a good oil to use, no matter if you live in alaska or arizona. Either way, youre engine oil will heat up to around 200* F, it dosnt matter what the outside temp is. The 0w rating only matters when its below freezing, so you can just mentally tune out the Xw part of all oils if it makes it easier for you.
