I was under the impression that the made in USA stuff was not nearly as good as the German stuff. Is it green?

No not all 0w30 is german, and Im 90% sure that the oil everyone raves about will have made in germany on the back, but never the less its still good oil. How much did you buy?

If it ain't made in Germany, it ain't GC.

The earliest GC codes begin with MO2. The stuff you have is made in the USA.

The old stuff is crap. It's a very thin 30 weight oil at only 10cst. So it's almost a 0w20. Not even close to the quality of GC.
