Oil Thread! Castrol 0w30 Euro Formula is green now?????

[SupraMario]

Ok, so I moved, and the Autozone that I was getting my 0w30 from is now further than I care to travel considering, now the a autozone is about a 2 miles away from me. They stock 0w30, but it doesn't say Euro Formula on the front, it says it on the back and it even says made in germany.

But my question is, the other 0w30 I put in had Euro Formula on the front of the bottle, but I don't recall it being green.

Goddamn Car alarm....

Ok so, is it supposed to be green in color???? Cause its as green as Anti-freeze when the sun hits it.

Just wanted to know if this is the true stuff or if the other stuff was true or if they both are and they just decided a month ago to make it with a green tint.

REALLY old. (Had you done an oz of research you'd have found more info than you'd ever need on GC green.)

I did, but I didn't recall the last batch I had being green hence the thread. Thats why I was wondering if the last batch was just stamped with European Formula and Not really GC.

a yes or no was all he was looking for Colin.

Mario, if I knew, I would tell you, but our stores don't stock either one, so I use Royal Purple.

Check the date on the bottle. On the back should be a series of numbers and letters. Towards the beginning there is a set of numbers that starts with 05,06,07,08, or 09. I believe that tells you what year the GC is from.

It used to be green, but that was many years ago. If you managed to get some green GC, you may want to just keep it as an antique.

Yea this stuff was on their back shelf and was dusty as hell, I've got the bottle here, its stamped M033246b251051-3 23:46

2003???
That can't be right, but then again when I mean dusty, I mean like a ceiling fan that hasn't been dusted in a back room for forever dusty. They got a ton of this stuff too.
