F430 approved oils

So, have read a good deal of threads on engine oil for the 430, they are all over the place. I want to stay with oil that is approved by Ferrari that I can find here in the US. Is their a list produced by ferrari?? I see a lot about the Penn euro but understand it no longer meets approval. I don’t track my car so it’s probably not a big deal what I use but I do want something Ferrari approved for the car.

thanks all.

 

In the 430 section there's a thread that's less than a week old with an extensive discussion

Search Dr. Haas and Motor Oil for a real thrill. I have experimented for decades using thin oils in high performance engines. The "thick" oil guys hate me even though I have always presented evidence of the lowest wear using thinner oils. Many oils thin with use for example the 10W60 Shell oil recommended for the Enzo becomes a 40 grade oil in no time at all. I would rather use a grade stable 40 grade oil. I have used as thin as a 20 grade oil in my Enzo with little to no wear, less than as with the 60 grade recommended oil.

As long as it is a brand name oil it probably makes absolutely no difference. Everybody has their own favorites. My favorites are Red Line and what I use most often, Renewable Lubricates Inc. I am currently using the RLI oil, 0W30 in my 812 Superfast. I routinely used 0W20 oil in the Murcielago, Bentley and RR cars. Tests always confirm less than "normal" wear levels. There is also the added benefit of more power and better fuel economy.

PS: I do not track my cars. It is possible that thicker grades may be needed but it has to be tested on the track. One person on F-Chat saw cooler running engines when using thinner oils on the track. It's all about temperature and pressure in your application. Things that run hotter wear more. Remember that wear is most when the engine is in the first 15-20 minutes of use until the oil temperature get up to the appropriate level.

 

I use Mobile. If you’re not reving crazy, any oil works. One of the old Castrol commercial did an engine test, in the fine print, reving 9k rpm

I think factories won’t use cheap brands, they must get a kick back from the oil company stating that’s their preferred brand

 

Mobil not Mobile.

 

I have 2008 spider stock 44k miles added scud Swiss improvements and titanium 28mm vs 19mm hammered chrome (once) lug nuts

I use liquid moly Leichtauf HT engine oil for motor
Ams oil 75W90 gear oil,GL-4

been very happy my guys work and build incredible Porsches the owner has a Ferrari 360

but it’s time to redo my fluids and I found a few guys that use MoTul 300/V the oil is in bikes that hit 22k rpm but …???

I'm going to send a note to Bob the oil guy about what I should use or just use my current fluids

 

Anybody know what the lateral oil filter are in a 2008 f430 f1. Spider?

 

There is none. Only the factory Purflux.
