Oil Change:
Typically recommended every 5,000-7,500 miles or annually, whichever comes first.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial service, typically recommended every 30,000 miles or 3-5 years due to the interference engine design.
Engine Oil Recommendation:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 10W-40 or 20W-50, depending on climate) and API rating. Often requires high-quality synthetic or semi-synthetic oil.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant mixture; consult manual for specific ratio and type.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (refer to manual for exact specification).
Transmission Fluid:
Refer to manual for specific gear oil viscosity and GL rating.
Fuel System Perishing:
Degradation of fuel lines and seals over time, especially with modern ethanol-blended fuels.
Electrical Gremlins:
Age-related issues with wiring harnesses, connectors, and grounding points.
Cooling System Leaks:
Aging hoses, seals, and potential corrosion in the radiator and water pump.
Carburetor Or Injection Tuning:
Requires precise tuning for optimal performance, especially with K-Jetronic systems.
Ferrari Legacy:
Continuity of Ferrari's legacy in producing high-performance V8 sports cars.
308 To 328 Transition:
The 328 represented an evolution of the 308 QV platform, featuring a larger displacement engine and updated styling cues.
Qv Significance:
'QV' signifies 'Quattrovalvole' (four valves per cylinder), an enhancement over earlier 308 models.
Production Period:
The 308 QV was produced from roughly 1982-1985, and the 328 from 1985-1989, bridging the gap to the F355.
