I just picked up oil from the dealer for my next oil change. I didn't look at the oil until I got home but when I did I noticed that that bottle is different and it is actually 1 quart rather than 1 liter as I have always purchased. All the specs are the same. Has anyone else run into this? I can post pics if anyone wants to see.

Yupp. You're a little late to the parade, though, as this change was made some time ago.;)
Double -check, though, that it's the right 507 oil.

It is the correct spec. I did look over this section but did not see any mention of the change. Must have missed it. It definitely says 507 on the back of the bottle but they are charging the same for 1qt as they did for 1l which is kind of stupid. Oh well. Thanks for the info.

The new stuff is made in the USA, the older red top stuff was made in Austria. Also, the new stuff has kind of a greenish tint...
