If SLX 0w30 = Syntec 0w30, then why are all the SLX 0w30 available here rated SJ?

Old stock I guess. Up here the German 0w30 is all SL formula.

The current spec sheet from Castrol in Germany for SLX states it meets API SL.

SLX 0w-30 now equals Syntec 0w-30, but only in North America. Where you are, it may be different. And even in NA, if it doesn't say "Made in Germany" on the label, it's still the old Castrol Syntec 0w-30, not the new Formula SLX.

Dr. T, I know. That's why I wrote: "Where you are, it may be different."

Ken4 all the SLX stuff was dropped by Castrol Oz a while back and replaced by Formula R such as 0W40, 15W60 etc. Do you have Formula R there now?

Anyone find this out west? My local Autozone got in new 0W-30..red labeled bottles. Labels match German made, except it says Made in USA with domestic and foreign components.

I guess I'll have to open a botle to check color?

HELP!
