Default Is castrol syntech 5w40 still made in Germany?

0w30 and 5w40 is the recommended type so I went to Canadian Tire where I had seen it before but this time only the 0w30 is made in Germany. All various types were made in U.S. including the 5w40 which I was going to get.

I ended up getting the 0w30 but is the U.S. made 5w40 still not recommended? It says it's formulated for BMW/Merc/VW.

BTW what's the 2.7T's oil capacity? The car is in the shop (with the manual) to have my dent pulled out.

I think the 5w40 I saw a few weeks ago was made in Canada. It was advertised "VW/Mercedes" approved.

Pick up 8 QTs. I use approx 7.3 quarts. This assumes a filter change.
