Default Please post a pic of German Castrol

I've been looking at AutoZone and Walmart and cannot find any Castrol that has made in Germany or from Germany, they all say made with Domestic and else, can some post a picture of what this bottle looks like and where it says made in Germany?

Thanks

Here is the two versions of what the front of the bottles will look like:



And just make sure it says made in Germany on the back if you find one with the older label on the left (since there were a few American made ones with that label at first) If you find them with the label on the left, they are all made in Germany.

Is this stuff fully synthetic or is it a blend? I am going to give this stuff a try.

I think I probably missed a big oil post somewhere, but is the german Castrol ranked higher than the Mobil1 0w40 on the Patman scale?

100% fully synthetic, in fact the base oil it uses is extremely unique and extremely high tech!

Way higher yes! German Castrol is considerably better than M1 0w40.
