It takes me years to buy a car and I'm already pre-shopping. A car that has really caught my interest is the Alfa Romeo Giulia. I see it takes Fiat spec 9.55535.GS1, which is not common but is available (Pennzoil Euro LX 0w30 for example).
My question is what makes this spec unique? I've checked on the Lubrizol tool and they don't have it listed. While I'd be comfortable with about any good Euro oil for this vehicle for a car out of warranty, I am curious as to what makes the Fiat spec special. You'd think most Euro oils would meet it and licensing would not be that expensive? Or is there simply not enough demand to bother?
Anyone know? Thoughts?
