    I just bought some Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-40 but the bottle reads "Turbo Diesel Truck." Does it matter so long as the weight is correct? thanks

    STOP... That is not good for your Ferrari. Diesel blend is different...

    What you want is Mobil 1 0W40 'European formula'. Don't use diesel oil in a gas car.

    You should really put group V type of synthetic oil in your Ferrari. Some example would be Redline, Royal Purple, Amsoil etc.
