Well, I cleaned out all German-made Castrol Syntec 0W-30 they had at the WalMart in Toronto. Thank's for the tip ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)
. They had US-made 0W-30 there, too. Of course, it was completely different: SJ, ACEA A1, nothing else of note. The German 0W-30 has some very impressive specs: SL, ACEA A3/B3, BMW, VW, Mercedes, Porsche approvals. Interestingly, it is not Energy Concerving, which makes perfect sense. ACEA A3/B3 rating requires higher viscosity.
What really blew me away is that they had Mobil Delvac 1 for only CAN$35/4l!!!! The best price I have been able to find in the US is $32/gal mail order, which is much more expensive! However, almost no 5W-20 variety... weird.
US customs officer did not care at all about my import of German motor oil from Canada. Maybe he thought I was crazy when I told him about it ![[Patriot]](/forums/graemlins/patriot.gif)

One of the giveaways is that it's green. Formula SLX is Castrol's only green oil.![[Confused]](images/icons/confused.gif){kind=icon}
