Right, but does an actual Ferrari spec exist, and if so, what are the requirements? From what I recall, it is just a marketing arrangement.
Ferrari have approved oil, the Shell Helix Ultra 5w40. However FIAT 9.55535-Z2 is the high performance full SAPS specification for the group. I think that spec perfectly mirrors Ferrari specification. For know reasons only Shell's lubricants have formal approval.
