What Motor Oil do you guys use for a F430?

I use whatever "Jiffy Lube" has on special that day!

 

Beautiful 430. Love the interior.
I have an 07 430 coupe in Silverstone.
Because the car is under warranty, I would recommend using what the manual calls for - Shell Helix Ultra 5W40.

I live in Pittsburgh and was very happy to be able to purchase a case of the Shell Helix form a distributor here in town.
I have used about 2 quarts in 3000 miles. Just had my 1 year annual maintenance completed where my dealer changed the oil, among other things. Dealer charged $17.50/quart (10qts). I paid about $125 dollars for my case. If you are interested I would be happy to sell you 2 or 3 quarts (same as what I paid for it), since it will be a long time before I use 10 more quarts. Just PM me if you are interested. Enjoy your 430. Al

 

Apparently you got the oil together. Your 430 is optioned beautifully!

 

Expect a reply from Dr. Ali Haas.
He wrote, what perhaps is, one of the most interesting and educative articles regarding synthetic motor oil.

 

I've used

Shell Helix and Elf Excellium LDX these are the only true synthetics worth buying

 

I thought I've seen ads on the tee-vee for Quaker State saying they are the official oil for F cars?

 

Quaker State is correct. On my '08 F430 the owner's manual says Quaker State Horsepower 5W-40 should be used. On delivery, the car came with two extra quarts of Quaker State European Engine fully synthetic 5W-40 oil. All other fluids use the Shell brand. I wonder why they switched to Quaker State just for the engine oil and not the rest of the fluids.

 

I use Mobil 1 0-40. I run M1 in everything I own (including my 2 race cars) and have had nothing but good luck with it.
