    Just curious what brand and weight you guys run in your fcars? I have tried everything form Xado to Motul and pretty much everything in between. Honestly I really can't tell much of a difference.

    So my question to you is should I waste my time and money ordering this exotic expensive oil or should I just run to autozone and by good old Mobil 1? I don't track my cars (348 & 360) I drive them and enjoy them and yes I'll bounce of the rev limiter on occasion. But I religiously change my oil so does it really matter?

    I use Mobil 1 5W50 fully synthetic.

    This weight suits my climate best. Have used it in my Ferrari for 10 years now and have done around 12,000 miles over the last 10 years.

    As long as you do yearly oil changes with a good brand engine oil, you will be fine mate.

    Lubro Moly (or Liqui Moly: pretty much the same) 5W-40 synthetic in my 456 GT.

    All my other "non-exotics" run just fine on Super Tech.

    By coincidence, all of my cars take 5W 40, so I buy Redline by the case...several at a time.

    I use Castrol 10-40 in all my cars and trucks.....even my 1957 motorcycle.It just makes life easier for me, and I can buy cases of gallons and never be concerned about mixing up oils.
