Kent, there is a new Castrol out, it's Syntec 0W30 and it is made in Germany. Meets 229.5, BMW Longlife 01, etc. It's a Group IV synthetic. Not sure how it is labelled in the States, but I think it says "European Formula" or something.
It's been dubbed 'GC' but the Internet community. Big bonus of this oil is that it goes on sale from time to time - at least here in Canada it does - and it can be had cheap, $5.99/L.
