Factory manual says Shell S1747A, but I don't see that stuff available. What lubricant do you recommend?

It shifts better with Kendall versus Swepco, but shops love Swepco and say the internals will last longer. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/KENL...amp;SVSVSI=0643 |

Interesting threads on this topic within the Ferrari community.
The Shell oil was a typical GL5 oil with an LSD additive. It seems you can get the additive to use over the counter now. |
