The HPS line of RP oil has ZDDP levels which are too high for modern certifications, the M1 Euro 0-40 also has decently high levels. The M1 15-50 will have high ZDDP levels as well. The search function on here should turn up relative info on either used or virgin oil samples. I have ran all of those oils in my GT500.I know there are a few speciality oils, like Amsoil, Royal Purple etc. Do they offer any real advantage over Mobil 1 or are they just something to spend your money on?
Oh trust me. I do drive it quite often. It’s definitely not a garage queen. I’d even call it a semi daily driver. Never understood why anyone would buy an exotic car and only drive it 100 miles a year.My recommendation is to drive it. Living in the south, I'd drive that thing every chance I get. You said you're going to keep it forever, might as well enjoy it.
Keeping miles off your car is like keeping miles off your wi.......so the other guy can enj.....never mind.
As for oil, no need to get fancy with that car. Used to use Agip to service those.
Go to Walmart. Get some t6 40 grade, enjoy the savings.
I may be strange to say this but I am appreciative that people drive their exotics and muscle cars, classic cars so I can enjoy seeing them. I usually thank them . It takes huge dollars and labor/ love to keep them going.Oh trust me. I do drive it quite often. It’s definitely not a garage queen. I’d even call it a semi daily driver.

Garage queen??? Honestly, if I had that, I'd pull it straight next to my bed right next to me. Tuck her in.Oh trust me. I do drive it quite often. It’s definitely not a garage queen.

Might have been me. I've got a '92 with 129K miles on it. And a '85 308 with 65K miles on it. I try to put at least a few thousand miles a year on them. Really as much as I can get away with.Somebody somewhere had an Acura NSX with a bunch of miles on it and I love hearing stories like that.

Love the Testarossa. Strong contender for next car to purchase.
I use M1 5W-50 in the 308. Probably 0W-40 would work, but the extra oil pressure made me happy when it was hot out.
I don't think you're crazy. The car has a ton of personality. It is my favorite car to drive. It's just an amazing experience.Is it like that??? Please tell me that I'm not crazy.
Not crazy at all. Speaking of the Testarossa, it also feels like you’re driving a lot faster than you are. Driving 70mph feels like 100+. I assume the 308 would be similar.Is it like that??? Please tell me that I'm not crazy.
Honestly... it's kind of both. It's not fast, but it feels exciting. The motor is fantastic and the gearing is perfect. But at speed, on the highway, it is quite comfortable cruising at 110-120mph. It's one of the few cars I've driven that really compels me in some spiritual way to go faster. My NSX is much better, technically, but just doesn't have the same feeling.Not crazy at all.
