Guys, read the back of both bottles. Both of them say "Not for sale outside the Americas."

If you look again at the pictures, the german one says "made in Germany, imported by Castrol North America" while the US says "made in USA from domestic and imported components".

edit There is a thread right below it that seems to be related to the one I posted above. On the second page is a post where a guy named Bruce381 did some lab tests on the green and the gold Castrol and writes that at first blush they seem to be the same thing.
