Has anyone tried Shell Helix Ultra, full synthetic, 5W-40 engine oil, in his/her Evo? This oil is the Ferrari factory fill. Is it even available in the USA? Any thoughts or comments? Thanks!

 

no one i know has tried it

just stick to what works best.. AMSOIL!!

 

I appreciate your opinion. However, in my particular case, AMSOIL, is not an option. I live outside the U.S. and AMSOIL lubricants are not available in my country.

 

Keep the Mobil 1 brand , you will never have a problem with it.

 

Never used it, but I can tell you the Helix that the Ferrari factory uses in the Enzo is $60 a quart.

 

Seems like extreme overkill for our application seeing how high those cars rev. Like Rob said the mobile 1 is fine. But to answer your question I haven't tried the helix. But AMSOIL I still think is the best. Everything in my drivetrain swims in it.

 

amsoil is great but it sucks that its not available readily over the counter. I dont think the shell helix ultra is sold in the USA...atleast ive never saw it anywhere around me.

 

Since no one is really helping you out, you might want to as Al (dynoflash) I believe he has ran this oil in the past. I also remember him running the Shell Helix tranny oil.

 

Amsoil products are readily available at lots of places
maybe your just not checking the right stores

 

very popular over here in the UK. Lots of garages, most dealerships use it.
