Routine service items

These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Engine oil and filter Ferrari specifies annual oil changes regardless of mileage. Use 10W-60 synthetic oil only. Critical for cam variator and hydraulic tappet longevity. Missing changes accelerates valve guide wear. 360	6,000 miles or 1 year	£200–£300 Dealer: £450–£650
Air filter Replace during annual service. Clogged filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption. Use genuine Ferrari filter only. 360	12,000 miles or 2 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200

Major service items

These are the big-ticket items. Miss them and you risk engine or gearbox damage. The costs are higher but the consequences of skipping are much worse.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Timing belt and tensioners Ferrari specifies 5-year interval regardless of mileage. Belt failure causes catastrophic valve damage. Replace all tensioners, idlers and water pump simultaneously. Engine-out service required. 360	5 years	£3500–£5000 Dealer: £5500–£8000

Brake fluid 2-year interval mandatory. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only. Hygroscopic contamination causes brake fade and ABS system damage in high-performance use. 360	2 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£220
