List, Just a note I'd like to make here regarding Castrol in general. i'm in the oil change/auto maintenence business and among us, it is widely known that Castrol doesn't even make any of it's own products. Castrol is a marketing and advertising company, not a refinery or manufacturer. In fact, you will notice on the back of any castrol product that it does not specifically state where the product was made, only that it is 'packaged by Castrol'. Castrol buys their products as ordinary bulk from the other major manufacturers, so anything unique to Castrol is just placebo, kind of like how someone insists on using the same oil their dad used because 'it's the best stuff'. Further, you will see that Castrol never suggests that their products are specifically superior to anyone else's - their claims are always the same things that ANY product should have if it is the be certified.
