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!!!

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.
