I havent been around this forum for a few years. Is the new stuff gold and not green? Is it just as good?
FAQ - GC ( German Castrol )
- Thread starter FD777

Yes, the new stuff is gold. The add pack seems to have changed, but the UOA results continue to be good.
Woohoo, just found an AutoZone in my area that carries it!!
I found a vendor that claims they sell GC, but I wonder if this is the GREEN formula, its made in Germany and is a lil different bottle from what the vendor says? He cannot find and numbers on the bottom of the bottle like mine have either. Any ideas?

Yeah, and to prevent people from putting old oil back in the bottles and returning it back to the store for full refund.

No! Lower than low is when the store puts it back out on the shelves to resell.
I recently saw a 5qt. bottle of Q Torquepower (clear bottle) on a clearance endcap at Walmart that was 3/4 full with what was obviously used oil. Blacker than black.
And... they still wanted $10 for it.

Torque Power is a very dark oil when new. The old style bottles also have a lot of air gap on top when fully filled.

I don't mean to get too far off topic but I am quite sure of what I saw. It was unsealed, 3/4 full, and black.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask. Have the bottle identification techniques or methods changed? I'm in Canada and from what I read from 20 pages of thread (god that's tedious) is that GC is now not GREEN, but a GOLD colour?
DOes "Made in Germany" still have to be present on the bottle for it to be the good stuff?

Yes, to both questions.

Thank you very much, I'll visit my local store and pick up a few bottles.

That's true. The clear jugs looks like a quart is missing even when full.
