Still wears the "European formula" logo but it is now produced in Belgium. The new* German Castrol is now 0w40 API SN VS the Old 0w30 API SL Pretty interesting! I went to my local pep boys and sure enough, i was looking at 2 bottles 0w40 and 0w30 one made in Belgium, one made in Germany. I did a little research on BITOG and it is a new formulation with pretty amazing UOA's. It shears down to a heavy 30w at OT. I know allot of us do the GTR oil change with mobil 1 0w40, and now we have another Geat option for a 0w oil

anyways just thought id pass the news, whether or not you knew...fyi
Hey thanks, yeah I've been using the European formula 0w30 . That's good info to know.
