Rare exotic engines may need 10w60 according to single youtube channel

Thought this was interesting, even though it's highly specific to the engine design.
TL;DW: Castrol or Nulon 10w60 has the best protection in RB engines.

I thought 10w60 was a BMW exclusive?
Or, they're the only ones mainly using it?

Apparently generating discussion with clickbait titles isn't allowed. Just trying to have a little fun.
Whoever modified the title, it's now very inaccurate. "single youtube channel" doesn't take into account the massive amount of time and testing, and an RB is not a "rare" or "exotic" engine. At least just put "RB series engines may require 10w60" or something, sheesh.

Must not be much of a motor if you need a 60 grade oil.

2000+hp and 6-sec quarter mile times say otherwise. Not to mention some very fast lap times and plenty of race wins in various classes.

I was going to say doesn't the Ferrari Enzo use 10w-60 or 10w-50? Aehass has an Enzo

BMW and Ferrari. Might be some other exotics or rare applications out there. For BMW it ended with the S65 engine in the E92 M3.

Ferrari recommends Shell 10w-60 on their hyper cars like the Enzo and LaFerrari. They have also spec'd it for their more recent V12s, like the F12, 812, etc. It is also recommended for Ferraris used at the track frequently. Most Ferraris its Shell or Pennzoil 5w-40.

So, you judge a person by what they’re currently driving?

How superficial.

Particularly since you haven’t shared what’s in your garage.

It’s not that serious, lol. He’s the one with the antagonistic yawn emoji. i’m just playing into it. I have three Nissan 240sx and two Infiniti G35s. I’m not a drag racer so most of my mods are suspension ones. Currently building a 2.2 liter sleeved SR20, but it’s turbo limited because I like responsive powerbands.

Absolutely irrelevant video, test etc., for an everyday user that does not own that engine.
Also, the architects of that engine do not drive anything with it; I bet you. Maybe they drive Mazda CX-5?

Porsche is now recommending (and selling) 10w-60 for the 3.0L+ air cooled cars.
