Tune Up:
Recommended annually or every 6,000 miles for ignition and carburetion/fuel injection checks.
Engine Oil:
SAE 20W-50 or 10W-40 (check manual for specific climate recommendations)
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4.
Transmission Fluid:
GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil (specific viscosity to be confirmed in manual).
Carburetor Tuning:
Weber carburetors can require frequent adjustment due to sensitivity to humidity and altitude.
Ignition System:
Older ignition systems can be prone to wear, requiring careful inspection of points, condenser, and coil.
Rust And Corrosion:
As with many cars of this era, rust can be a concern, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and door bottoms.
Electrical Gremlins:
Aging wiring harnesses and connections can lead to intermittent electrical faults.
Founding:
Founded by Enzo Ferrari.
Design Origin:
Designed by Bertone, a departure from traditional Ferrari styling. Initially marketed as a 'Dino' model.
Naming Convention:
The GT4 designation signified its Gran Turismo, 4-seater configuration. The 'Dino' badge was used to differentiate it from the V12 models and avoid diluting the main Ferrari brand with its styling and V8 engine.
Production Volume:
Approximately 2,570 units
Manufacturing Location:
Maranello, Italy
