German Castrol search

[Cornbread]

Local Autozone 2 days ago had plenty of "Made in Germany" 0W-30 Castrol. Went back today to purchase and all but 1 bottle had been replaced by USA batch with a yellow background behind the 0W-30 nomenclature. More AZ searches revealed bunch of the yellow batch USA, few red label USA bottles, and only 5 "real" GC. The staff just said, "What you see is what we got."

I`m running and liking GC, but now fear my local supply is slipping away (no pun intended}. It is my understanding that the yellow label is the old stuff. The bottles did seem dusty, but I have not seen them on the shelves until now, Anybody know anything about the red label USA bottles?

I am in the Chattanooga, TN area.

Regards

recently AZ here started carrying real GC, and some yellow lablel-US stuff was still there, but a bout a week ago, all of the US-stuff was gone, and there was only real GC with the new label type.
