GC 0w30 Data Sheet?

[ltbong]

I've tried searching her and on google and cannot seem to find a data sheet on German Castrol 0w30. Does anyone have a link?

You can find a PDS at castrolusa.com
The MSDS is there as well.

So are the data sheets for the US and German Castrol the same?

NO. The USA made stuff was last produced in 2001. Since then, it's all been made in Germany, and is a VERY DIFFERENT product.

That data sheet you see is the German product. Note the visc.

Looking at the pour point on the MSDS, -54c, that's -65.2F. Wow.

Hi,
this may interest some

Data from the very first "German Castrol" in 1996

Castrol Formula SLX 0w-30

Vis @ 100C = 11.6cSt
Vis @ 40C = 65cSt
CCS@ -30CcP = 3150
HTHS vis = 3.5cP
Pour Point = -57C
TBN = 8

Performance Levels (Castrol's words)
API Service SH/CF
Energy Conserving 2
ACEA A3-96, B3-96 (Supercedes CCMC G5 and PD2)
BMW (Special Oils Listed) and M51 Diesel Engine approved
Porsche (Approved)
Rover (RES 22OL G4 and RES 22 OL PD2)
VW500.00 and 505.00 issue (11/92)

This product was withdrawn from service in Australia in/about 2001 after many performance issues and at least three formulation changes. I was one of the first users here and in a number of engine families and with one lubricant related engine failure - it was an embarrassment for Castrol!
