I checked at my local AutoZone this morning and they do have the German 0w30 now. Same price as other grades of Syntec: $4.99/qt. The bottle is identical to the other Syntec bottles, it's just the "0w30" label is now red instead of yellow, and there is no snowflake. (It seems strange to see a Xw30 oil that doesn't have the GF-3 "starburst." hehe)
It appears from the wording on the bottle that Castrol has decided to market this imported 0w30 as their "European Formula" oil much as Mobil markets their 0w40. The old "yellow label" 0w30 was marketed as a "cold weather" formula.
