I've bought some Castrol Magnatec Professional oil especially branded as for the Ecoboost engine.

Its yellow !

This video of a lad changing the oil on his specifically mentions that this oil should be green.

Both are labelled with exactly the same spec.

Which is right ?

Just for everyones info, I've talked to Castrol and they say ....

"The Professional range did contain a green dye to differentiate it from other products on te market – but with advanced in additive and base oil technology we no longer need the dye as a marker. We stopped putting the dye in the Magnatec and EDGE products last year so the product will be brown/yellow

The dye was not a performance enhancement, so you can happily mix the dyed and undyed products".
