i see a lot of votes for rotella, mobil 1, redline...and i notice most picking the recommended weight.
i spent a lot of time reading AEHaas's articles, then i read the posts from his detractors on the Ferrari forum, interesting stuff. as i do occassionally hammer on the cars, i think i would be leaning towards the recommended weight.
I would use the recommended weight, also you can warm the cars up before you take them out during winter, so I don't see the need for 0wXX oils, the car is not a daily driver, where you just hop in and drive off. Use viscosity that's recommended in the owners manual, brand of oil is really irrelevant as long as it meets the requirements, this way you don't have to worry when your right foot goes to the floor.
Man, these are nice cars
