Green hue

[FCD]

I've only seen this kind of greenish hue in Group 1 oils i've used, and not even as strong as this.

This brand is owned by the SCT group, who also own Mannol , Fanfaro etc which are fairly popular low cost oil brands in Europe.

Don't know about the oil, but a funnel might help you get the oil INTO the engine instead of over it.

Oh this is a guy i follow who does silly car repair videos, he does it on purpose, and all his videos are dubbed with a chipmunk voice.

I've seen similar hue in STP oils from AutoZone. No big deal, just a result of whatever additive package being used.

Oh so that’s not your car just some pictures you found on the Internet? With a chipmunk voice.

Now I want to hear the chipmunk voice. Post a link.

I remember the vintage Kendall Nitro 70 and Nitro 60 weight oils used to be a dark green color.
We referred to that stuff as "Nectar of the Gods". Used it in older air cooled cast iron head Harley Davidson engines.

The famous "German Castrol" was green too.

But Kendall was dyed green wasn't it, this oil is not.

Many Castrol oils, including industrial lubricants, haave greenish hue. Likely
certain additives.

Hmmm, i guess, but from all the oils i've bought i've only noticed it in conventional, especially Group 1 oils, never with synthetics.

Any refined oils, even Group I is clear with just a very slight amber tint to it. A mixture of organic dyes can get you whatever tint you want.

I once formulated a Pink oil with Lavender scents for a blender who wanted to cater to women. It didn't go well. Women who sent in comments said they wanted a "manly" oil that was amber colored, like beer.

It looks similar to the VW 508.00 approved M1 ESP X2 0W-20 that goes into our Tiguan. Likewise for the VW-branded equivalent from the parts counter.

Bacon flavored 2 stroke oil sounds fun
