Redline have a good reputation, though I only know of people using it in Ferrari transaxles (to greatly help the stiff 2nd when cold on a 328/348).

They do 'MTL' 75/80W GL4 full synthetic. Does your manual give a GLx number?

Engine Oil. I know Maserati only recommend Salenia (spelling?) but are there any others which do the job, price reasonable? Heard Halfords may have a new fully synthetic formula?

Cheers

You can use selenia, which is a 10w60, but i am only aware of one other oil, which is Castrol RS. Please note this oil must still be 10W60, Castrol RS comes in different grades.
Hopes this helps
