New German Castrol? I saw the bottle has changed.
It's still 0w30 but now it says "European Blend" on the front. It's still made in Germany and it's still approved for BMW's(though I didn't see Porsche on there like the older stuff).
Is this stuff still good?
I found a local Autozone that stocks it so if it's the same stuff I'm stocking up on it.
Thanks!

I'm assuming this is the new 'GOLD' castrol people are talking about. Its good oil, but not as good as the green stuff from what I've read.

I'll see what I can find out for you. I work for BP and BP owns Castrol. 
Now at my work we use Mobil 1 in all of our equipment.... you do the math on that one.
PS I only use Mobil 1 in my Z.
