GC now meets GM LL-A-025 spec for use in 9-3 engine

I did a search in the forum and didn't notice any other posts about this, so I thought I'd announce it: German Castrol (ie, Castrol Syntec 0W-30 that says "made in Germany" on the back) is now rated to exceed GM LL-A-025 spec, which is the required spec for the 9-3SS engine. GC is an excellent oil, at least as good as the M1 0W-40 and the Saab Turbo Oil 0W-30 that were previously the only widely-available LL-A-025 oils in the US.
If you want this oil, it's only available at AutoZone in the US, and this only applies to the 0W-30 grade. Make sure it says "Made in Germany" under the API logo on the back.
Link to the new Castrol spec sheet is below.
