Anyone tried it. It is fully synthetic and recommended by Ferrari. I just picked up a 5 gallon jug from the Auto Parts counter. I am going to try it out and let everyone know what I find.

Its made by Shell, same a Pennzoil Platinum, so its bound to be good stuff.

 

If Ferrari recommends it you know it has to be good...

 

If Ferrari recommends and approves the oil for their 8000 rpm V12 engines then it should do the job in our applications too

 

Meh, some Ferrari models use Pirelli tires as well, and you see how well that worked out for the Cobalt LOL--really expensive, don't last long, pretty terrible grip. My Toyos in the same price range get twice the grip (though I admit, at the the expense of ride comfort)

I've been using Royal Purple oil but it's getting far too expensive; any alternatives? I heard something one time about some walmart brand being the same thing as Mobil 1 synthetic.

 

i used walmart synthetic last oil change on my Redline and there havent been any negative aspects of it. Still pulls as hard as Mobil 1.

 

I just put Q hp in my car, its legit.

 

mobil's cheaper but both excellent, stay away from the castrol syntec hear bad thinks and it breaks down alot faster

 

do not use it i had that **** in for like 2 months and then after that my car ran like **** im not kidding you i was getting almost "heatsoaked" from the oil not cooling down and it thins out way to much , the engine running at a higher temp and the second i went back to mobil 1 my car was fine. ive never ever complained about anything on this site ever but i will say get that oil out now.


and i never complain about stuff or get involved with anything really in this website im just saying IMO the **** made my car run like doody

 

RP is the **** hands down, i swear by this stuff!

 

I thought about switching over to synthetic oil but since I'll only put about 5000 t0 6000 km's on my car a year i see no need spend the extra money for synthetic.

 

i hope your not driving a SS/SC and not putting synthetic in.

 

I use bulk mobil 1 5w30 in my 2008 2.4L sport with no problems. I change my oil every 5000kms tho. I did that in my 2005 2.2 base cobalt and it had over 130,000kms after 2 years and never had any problems. I can't justify using synthetic and i'm an automotive tech.

Nope I got a Pontiac G5 Gt. If I had a SS/SC I would use synthetic since forced induction engines require synthetic to run at their peak performance.
