Hmm, I couldn't get thru to Carl, so I called Continental Motorsports in CHI, and they said they can't ship oil products, but they said I could use GR8800, a Corvette product, in the transaxle. This came from the Service Manager, with reported 30 yrs Ferrari experience. Sounds OK to me, but I will check and see if Carl can ship some AGIP to me or somewhere in Indy where I can pick it up. | ||

Ali, I will give them a call. I don't really need 5 gal, but I want the best for my car. Robert, this is for a '91 Testarossa. Jim | ||

Frank & Ali, The american agip website only shows a 75W90 in "LSX-Synthetic". Is this a good substitute for the Rotrax SX SAE spec? What about the Redline NS? Is SXA the same as SX? Thanks, Jim | ||

I've been ordering the Sint2000 oil from an Italian motorcycle accessory place in PA called Fast by Ferracci. $7.95 / qt and I get it in 2 days. www.ferracci.com O | ||

Make sure the oil for your engine is SL rated. Then you need the correct viscosity. There are numerous threads on this topic. aehaas | ||

Can you use any other brand oil in the engine? We buy Castrol GTX 20/50 by the drum. Thanks | ||

After I complained to Ferrari of Central Florida they finally gave me a recommendation for better shifting in my 575 M. They said to use the Agip SXA 75W-90. Lamborghini of Orlando, Ultimate, was kind enough to save me some time and gave me the number of the importer for Agip. I got a bunch of information. The SXA is a non-slip version of gear oil. The Murcielago uses the LSX that has the anti-friction additive. Both are fully synthetic. This explains why people are satisfied with the Redline 75W-90 NS (non-slip) in their Ferraris. Specs for both the SXA and LSX are as follows... Viscosity - - 15.6 at 100 C, 117 at 40 C Flash point - - 204 C Pour point - - (- 40 C) API GL-5, MT-1, PG-2 The importer is American Agip. 800-922-9243. Ask for Carl Sisler in technical. They have all the Agip products, motor oils et cetera. The LSX comes in a case of 12 1 liter jars for $80.36. The SXA only comes in a 5 gal. jug for $107.70. aehaas | ||
