There was a particular Castrol oil formulation that was actually manufactured in Germany, I believe it was the 0W-30 Edge. Some people thought that made it better than other Castrol oils. Castrol makes several oils that are labeled European Formula, and that is on the label inside a green oval. It is also rated A3/B4. The one that was made in Germany is now made in Belgium. I don't think it makes a bit of difference.

FWIW, I have used the Castrol 0W-40 Euro in my RX for a number of oil changes and everything is still good.
