Oil for the 812 Superfast

[AEHaas]

The car is currently running on Pakelo 5W40, what the Ferrari dealer is using at this time. I plan on getting a used oil analysis when I hit 1,000 miles on it. Then I plan to use 0W30 RLI:

Too thick

Wouldn't a 0W-20 be better because no oil is too thin at start up.

Incidentally I had this man, Joe of Carroll Clear Bra & Tinting put some more yellow on the car. It is sleeker and should now be faster and have better fuel economy.

It's funny how foreign companies "qualify" their products in the US by saying "look, they use our product".

Is it me, or does the previous gen Corvette and this car almost look exactly alike?

If I had me a garage, I'd be fixin' to git one of these fancy Eyetalin buggies

I'm pretty sure that company is American and based in Ohio.

What do you plan on learning from a 1000 mile UOA? It is a nice looking car.

The Krypton is advertising MB 229.5 performance level, but lists a NOACK over 10.

Is this a well known brand in your corner of world? I'm surprised the Ferrari dealer isn't using some Shell oil, lol!

Probably not his daily driver so it may take a couple years to put 1000 miles on the car.

Maybe some day, we shall see. I will start with the 30 grade and see how it goes. Then I will probably go to a 20 grade. Eventually I will then go back to the original oil as a baseline test as somebody suggested once. (The thick stuff will certainly hurt but it won't kill me).

"Is this a well known brand in your corner of world? I'm surprised the Ferrari dealer isn't using some Shell oil, lol!"
I never heard of this brand in the US before. I have not asked Ferrari why they are now using this oil instead of the Shell. If I remember the manual is recommending Shell 5W40 but the dealer is using the Pakelo instead.

The required yearly oil change is coming up so I am limited unless I go on some trip. Generally it's to the office and around town like to dinner or Home Depot or the like. Ferrari provides 7 years of free yearly maintenance for their cars.

I had to look up Pakelo. First time I’ve seen it mentioned here. Made in Italy.

I wonder if they use olive derived esters?

Beautiful Ferrari.

I'm a conservative driver, but man, I would get so many speeding tickets in that car...

 

[Rand]

hey he just putt putts around town put some neo 0w5 in that thing.

Incidentally. The 2021 EWB Ghost manual recommends the following oil: 0W30. In previous years it was 5W30 and before that 0W-40.

I am not thinking they are worried about fuel economy either. I ran 5W20 Motorcraft for the nine years I owned the old one.
