do some searching for GC, German Castrol, etc and you will see why

Seems like Castrol finally caught on to the craze and put "European Formula" on the front.

That looks like the bottle that the newer gold stuff comes in. I dont think the bottles with the green oil say european formula on them. I cant find the green stuff anymore, only the "new" gold colored german castrol.

I've read the threads but I stick to my guns, 0w30 oil simply doesn't have the ability to take a load like you typically see from modern engines with close bearing clearances.

Just my opinion.
