Coolant Capacity:
Refer to manual, typically around 10-12 liters for the V12.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Refer to manual, typically around 10-12 liters for the V12.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or annually, whichever comes first, with specific Ferrari-recommended oil grades.
Timing Belt Interval:
Critical for V12 engines. Intervals usually around 30,000-50,000 km (20,000-30,000 miles) or 5 years. Manual will specify exact intervals and component inspection.
Engine Oil Type:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity grades (e.g., 10W-40, 15W-50) and API/ACEA classifications recommended by Ferrari. Often requires high-quality synthetic oil.
