I just read on the internet that crew chiefs in NASCAR and Formula 1 are scrambling to find a replacement oil for that sh1t Mobil 1 they're using. Apparently they heard about this in the370Z.com. The article went on to say that Amsoil appears to be the best replacement after reading further in this forum. Hey, go tell all your friends that you heard it here first!!!!

And Amsoil may very well be the best replacement...

Even though you're clearly joking, are you sure you want to open that can of worms?

They must all think Mobile one is Junk??.....

All right, just to add more fun to this great thread, can someone explain, why Ferraris come out of the factory with Royal Purple? I haven't seen any commercial links/relations between the 2 cies...

Ummm...You would think, If that were true, that Roal Purple would be bragging about it on their site.... I wasn't able to find any such endorsement..

Just because an oil is a factory fill does not mean it is a good oil. If you have the money and resources that ExxonMobil has, you can be the factory fill of any car manufacturer in the world. Its simply another way to push their product.

An overwhelmingly majority of the vehicles they supply oil for are high performance vehicles. What better way to market your product than to say your oil is used in the best engines of the world?

Ferrari is offically using and recommending—for its Ferrari models in the USA (they don't mention Canada)—the new Pennzoil Ultra.

I would like to know what they are using in Europe?

NyCSnEaK · 03-04-2010, 10:23 PM

Out of all the UOA of mobil 1 I have seen. Their Euro 0w-40 is the only one I would use. Anyone running this grade presently in their 370?
