Shell Helix Ultra Has anyone ever tried Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40? Ferrari uses it as factory fill in their cars...... Its a very expensive oil here in Sweden, and its supposed to be very good. 
last i heard they "require" a special mobil one oil for the Enzo. i have never heard of that particular oil. might not be stateside, or at least not under that particular name. cold be something interesting to check out though
Save your money and stick with Mobil 1 - we never used shell anything in F15 or F16 USAF fighters ,and they are a allot more exspensive than any Enzo.Than requirement by Ferrari was struck down here in the US by the Moss Magnussen act Basically it tells Ferrari that if they require a $90 a qt. oil to keep the Enzo maint /warranty in tact, Ferrari will have to provide it for free to Enzo owners,it's illeagal to lock someone into a Manufacturer like that here.

I love ignorant comments like this.
I tend to stay away from anything Shell related. Back when the crusher car programs were really heating up, Shell was one of the biggest sponsors of the whole event, while at the same time receiving hundreds of emissions violation tickets for its own factories. For those not aware, the crusher car programs were sponsored by big oil companies as a way to earn credits that allowed them to continue to not clean up their own refineries by crushing old cars, sometimes rare ones at that. Chevron was a big sponsor as well...
