Is this the correct oil to use for high boost?

Seems a bit cheap to me:

Does look like the stuff I use in my low boost. Sure someone will be along. Hopefully it is as I need to service mine next month and always dread the £100 for oil once a year.

That's the one. Don't get it confused for the non-XPR version that is a lot cheaper

Every time I have to rebuild the engine LOL

I change it every 6 months or 3k, whichever comes first.

Yeah I've always used it but I've always paid more for it, so it's good to know it can be bought cheaper than £20 a litre

Every 3 years or 20k I think it is. I would be up for a group buy. Need something like 10 bottles.

That is really cheap, it's a really good deal as it's been reduced from $273 per box of 12.

I've logged into Amazon, it works out at £160.24 delivered for 1 box.

You will also have to pay VAT on the import @ 20%, and a handling charge of £8-10 too, but it's still cheaper than what I can get it for.

Based on my experience of importing parts from the USA, I reckon that's about what it will cost you to your door Yes

Any infos about:

Shell Helix Ultra Racing 10w60 (is recomended by ferrari)
Castrol TWS 10w60
Millers 10w60
Liqui Moly Race Tech GT1 10w60

Can get them all pretty cheap here in germany Smile

Or should i really stick to a 20w Oil? The car will not be used on track!
