I've been out of the country for four weeks, so have not visited my local AZ for a while. Visited today, and the very first bottle of 0W-30 I saw was the old stuff with the Red Label, made back in 2001, however behind that bottle was a lot of the "semi-square" bottles, made in early 05 that said "Made In Germany" on the back.
Because I still have a two or three year supply of GC, I did not buy any, but if/when it goes on sale, I will pick some up.

Saw "Made In Germany" in Square Bottles

You saw the stuff bottled in the aftermath of Katrina. For a while after the storm, they were having packaging issues, but this seems to have been fixed. Someone noted this a while back and posted Castrol's explanation.
Why would they have packaging issues if it was "Made in Germany"? Does this mean that the oil was made in Germany, shipped in bulk to the US, then bottled here?

The fluid is made in Germany, but it is bottled here -- in bottles made in Louisiana until Katrina. One supposes that the elves ship it here in barges or tanker boats. It is then bottled in a secret location.
