THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE ON MY INQUIRY FOR MODENA F1 GEARBOX OIL.ON MY FIRST MOTOR OIL CHANGE (AND THE ONLY ONE I'VE DONE SO FAR)AT THE DEALER I BOUGHT AN EXTRA QUARTER OF HELIX ULTRA FOR REFILLING JUST IN CASE.SEEMS I WILL HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR THE GEARBOX AND PROBABLY ALSO FOR COOLING CIRCUIT SINCE GLYCOSHELL IS ALSO NOT KNOWN IN THE U.S. WITH THAT NAME.THEY'VE RECOMMEND TO USE SHELLZONE.I GUESS BEING A MIXTURE OF 50% COOLANT AND WATER IT WOULD BE OK,ANYHOW I WILL ASK THE DEALER ALSO IF THEY CARRY WHAT THE MANUAL SAYS. |

Ferrari dealers are using Shell (engine oil is Helix, tranny oil is Donax. No problem getting it at the dealer but no chance finding it somewhere else as it is not distributed in NA (too expensive, we are cheap). I was confronted with the same problem. |

I OWN A 360 MODENA 2000 WITH F1 TRANSMISSION.THE OWNERS MANUAL RECOMENDS TO USE SHELL DONAX TX OIL (SYNTHETIC).AFTER MEASURING THE F1 GEARBOX SYSTEM LEVEL AND FINDING IT A LITTLE LOW,I DECIDED TO BUY THIS OIL AND REFILL IT MYSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO THE DEALER.WHAT A SURPRISE,AFTER LOOKING AND CALLING DIFFERENT SHELL SERVICE STATIONS AND DISTRIBUTORS,THIS SPECIFIC OIL IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. IF ANYONE IS SO KIND TO HELP ME TELLING ME WHAT KIND OF SYNTHETIC OIL WOULD BE THE RIGHT ONE TO USE? OR DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DEALERSHIPS USE? |
