Starting Tuesday (day after Labor day), I'll be running Mobile 1 in my car. I thought about Royal Purple, but I found a better deal on Mobile 1 @ Costco.

Costco has 6 quarts for ~$26.

My friend who works on a Porsche race team veered me away from using Mobil 1. He told me to stick with Royal Purple or try out that new Q stuff.

I'm about to do my synthetic oil change for my IS this weekend, and I went with Quaker State Q Horse Power 5W-30:

http://www.qpower.com/


I figure if Ferrari approves of it for service fill, then it's good enough for my car.

From their FAQ:

Q® is the only North American motor oil approved by Ferrari for service fill. Shell, Quaker State®'s parent company, began developing lubricants to power Ferrari's F1 engine in the 1950s. Over the years, we have developed expertise and knowledge in matching the correct motor oil to every new engine design and technical development made by Ferrari. This ability is well recognized as being an essential element of their winning team. The Ferrari relationship reiterates our commitment to bringing technologically advanced motor oils to our customers.
