PS- yea the Enzo requires some special Shell made oil, that cost 74 dollars per quart..This right here proves the guy who claims "oil is oil" wrong. Ferrari will not warranty the engine if this oil is not used...obviously oil is not oil, or they would tell you to just go to Family Dollar and put any old **** you can find in there motors.

I have never had a problem finding GC in my Autozones around here, I've done about 5 oil changes with this stuff in various people's cars now. I dunno maybe we're just lucky down here

Not all oils are created equal but the better brands will all do good for your car. You are not going to notice any difference in longevity. Now if you run an oil formulated for a bike or another vehicle you are certainly asking for serious problems! lol

But until I see the results in my very own vehicle's oil analysis reports, I can't honestly say with 100% certainty as to how it compares. I've still got 66L of the green so it might be a while before I get those results (although I'm toying with the idea of switching my wife's car over from green to gold so that I can start seeing some results, although since I only change her oil once a year, I wouldn't get those results until the fall of 2007)
