    Check your phone book for a local Bulk Distributor in your area.

    They will have all the latest products.

    You should have seen my list, for my new Ducati....

    There's something odd about that oil in the US.
    I was looking at it in MA, a decade and a half ago, for my old Celica turbo.
    But whenever I asked about it at the local shell stations, they'd lose the ability to speak English.

    I tried looking it up on the shell US web page, but the site crashed. ;)

    At the time, the Ferrari dealership was the only place you could get it.

    (The Agip they sell in the US isn't the same as the stuff in Europe, either.)

    Try looking for Quaker State Q-Power

    Ferrari has dropped Shell Helix and Quaker State Q-Power as their recommended oils.
    Now the only oils approved by Ferrari NA are Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40 and Ultra Racing 10W-60.

    See: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVt7eeBKvDQ[/ame]

    That's because Shell owns both Pennzoil and Quaker state. In the US the low end product range is marketed under Shell. The mid-range Quaker State. And their new flagship is Pennzoil. Pennzoil Ultra and the old Shell Helix Ultra are the same product.

    Which says more about aliances between companies than the quality of oil they produce.
