Cool Anyone heard about Catrol 15w-40 for gasoline engin?

I did oil change from the audi dealer.
They used Castrol 15W-40 to my Audi A4 2.8Q

Anyone heard about Catrol 15w-40 for gasoline engin? I can't find it in AutoZone.

What's the problem? The main thing is to make sure you use synthetic oil.
