What oil?

I use FedEx ground as they do not ask that question about "anything liquid".

Those of you who use the BMW stuff via FCPEuro - what is the most cost effective way to do the return shipping? Does it fit in any of the USPS flat rate boxes?

I keep a few boxes in the right kind of size around. If all else fails, I just use the boxes they send me stuff in. I have a FedEx business account so I just use that to ship. It's insanely easy to sign up and you get slight discounts. Still slightly more expensive than USPS but more reliable IME.

Called the parts dept to see what they could tell me. All he knew, they were no longer stocking the Castrol brand and only the Audi brand. He wasn’t told who manufactured either ( I don’t think he cared lol). He said the only car they use it on is the R8. I should have stopped at the Lambo dealer next door to see what they are using. My guess its the same...

Vw dealer told me that they switched to mobil one as their oil supplier instead of castrol. At least for the TDI oil I buy.

I remember a while back Audi was stocking Castrol brand 10w60. Is this still Castrol or did they switch manufacturers?

My 2019 VW Tiguan takes 0w-20 and the first two oil changes the Castrol Professional LL IV FE was available but this last round I received VW labeled bottles and the Castrol was no where to be found. Seems like the Castrol has reappeared in a few places now but I also couldn't determine for sure who produces the VW oil. Most seem to agree it is re-labeled Castrol but I didn't see anything concrete.

I just picked it up yesterday. It came in a sealed box so I didn’t think about it until I got home. I got the surprise when I opened it. If its repacked Castrol I’m good with it. I’m surprised internet searches aren’t pulling up anything.

When did you buy that? I went to an Audi dealer a couple months ago and they sold me Castrol bottles. I really hope they're not switching to that.

I'd be shocked if TWS went away. It's almost an institution unto itself.

What might happen when a manufacturer drops it is that Castrol might stop caring about optimizing it for that app. Which, incidentally, is already a possibility for M cars.

I wonder if that still is Castrol, just in Audi branded bottles 🤔

Mutherphukker I hope they didn't switch to that. I like $9.55 TWS.
