Yes, on the Castrol sticker - but once I get the Castrol bottle I'm all set. The point is how do I know what I'm getting from all these online MB part stores ? Most of the online sources that I found reporting this part# have no picture. For ex: run this part# on www.rmeuropean.com, you get a Fuchs; and that is the only one I found that shows you what you are getting, and it's not the MB OEM oil, i.e. the Castrol.

Well... then just buy the Castrol SAF-XJ from BMW or an indi euro parts store. Be sure to read the label and make sure it says its for BMW LSD's. As long as the bottle says that you are good to go.
