Is the (made in Germany) GC you speak of, simply Castrol SYNTEC on the label, with "made in Germany " on the back?
I've seen Castrol Syntec, GTX and the blend, none that say made in Germany. Should I be looking on the SYNTEC bottles?
Quick question: This "GC" you speak of, is it Castrol SYNTEC ?

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to blend we go....Are there any GCs in existence made by green...goblins? ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

Hi,
pscholte - how did you guess?
The blending plant was established there in 1934 - it was once based on the Ruhr and originally owned by Hr Manfred Schniklegruber. He holds the patent for green ester based lubricants I believe
The red coloured lubricants (Castrol Syntrax etc.)were orginally developed in Russia
Regards
Doug
quote:Doug, Cheers! Just a reminder, the Elves have cautioned against giving out too much information. They are so busy they can't answer technical questions via email or snail mail and they do not give blending plant tours. They do appreciate, however, your having chosen to take interest in their history. They consider you a "Shelff" (Southern Hemisphere elf friend). As you are knowledgeable of their history you probably also know this is quite an honor.

Can you define "quick question" ? Are you asking it quick,or are we responding to it quick?

But, when I inquired about a possible tour of the GC production facility the next day, I encounted this nice gentleman. He appears to be American (in Germany), so it only adds more confusion about GC. And who knew Germany had deserts?
quote:ahh just a confirmation for what GC actually was on the shelf

One reply answer me guessesHi,
pscholte - thank you for "encouraging" the Elves to be kind. It's made me instantly forget about SJ/CD 0w-30 SLX! Forever!!!
wavinwayne - could the picture have been taken near the Porsche factory? The four wheeled vehicle behind the "heavy" looks like an early and tired prototype Cayenne. Is it a later prototype in the background??
Regards

quote:Pscholte, I am well aware of the elves' long-standing (no pun intended) history of non-voilent security measures. However, I have received intelligence as of late which indicates that the elves consider the "GC composition inquisition" as a hostile action & have revised their security measures accordingly. To that end, the armed security guard was a jolly lad, indeed. I was even given an escort from the facility. I couldn't help but ask the driver, "You do run GC in this thing, right?", to which the driver replied "Ich wußte nicht, daß jedes mögliches andere Öl bestand".
