German made Castrol
I have been changing my oil with the German made Castrol for about a year now. I change it this weekend and I noticed it is no longer green. Did they change the formula or somthing? I checked the back of every quart to make sure I got the right stuff. Anyone else noticed this?

The color comes from the dye. It doesn't matter!!!

Re: German made Castrol
What these guys are saying...It's still just as good as the older (green) version...It's just a newer formula, that's all...

I figured it was the same, just thought I would ask. I kind of liked it when it was green.
