10W60? Heavy stuff.
Any particular reason?

If you ever go for a Ferrari then double-check that it's an FF or an F12 Berlinetta. It would be a massively expensive mistake to find your oil doesn't fit!

It's the factory oil spec for the M. Castrol have always had a couple of suitable products - it's just that this one (Titanium, FST) is now being marketed as "supercar oil". :roll:
