You have asked a perfectly reasonable question; however, it has been discussed at length already. Please do a search on GC or German Castrol and you will probably find more than you ever wanted to know. BOTTOM LINE: I am absolutely convinced it is the REAL DEAL in terms of protection and overall performance and that time will bear that out. The deal about the lot or batch numbers is, given our lack of confidence in the way Castrol USA markets their products, can we determine how much has been sent over and is it still continuing to flow to us? If you are interested in finding it, look for a bottle with the 0W30 in a red block on the front and with a back label that looks like this:
Note the reference to the improved European formula, the specific performance specs, including ACEA A3, and the MADE IN GERMANY

Noone has proven that GC is made from anything special yet. Hearsay becomes fact. Pretty lame!
Yeah, I'm sure with a pour point of -62°C it's made with plain ol' Group III base oil.quote:

A lot of people speculate that is ester based....none have proved it yet.
So, where are the facts? Have you done any testing? Where does it say it is in fact ester based? Do you work for Castrol? Do you know anybody who does? Are you an expert in the lubricants field?quote:
