Ferrari Maintenance Schedule

Ferrari 296 GTB
With models like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale sitting in your Chicago-area garage, you’ll want to make sure it’s ready for the road whenever you need it. While specific Ferrari service can vary depending on the model, the general rule of thumb calls for service or an inspection at least once a year.

These world-class, precision-built machines can allow you to achieve incredible performance; make sure they’re in working order by staying on top of the Ferrari maintenance schedule with Ferrari Lake Forest. Every new model comes with a Ferrari 7-year maintenance plan, let’s take a closer look at the service you should schedule over that time.

Routine Ferrari Service

Similar to how each Ferrari brings a unique driving experience to the Indianapolis, IN roads, they each have their own specifics when it comes to their routine maintenance. However, here’s a general idea of the services that should be completed over the standard Ferrari 7-year maintenance plan:

Year 1

Take care of essential fluids like engine oil with an oil filter replacement, flush brake fluid, bleed calipers, and be sure to check the gear oil and hydraulic fluid, topping off fluids as necessary. Replace the in-cabin air filter, check for leaks, check all indicator lights, and conduct a visual inspection of the brake pads and discs.

Inspect the parking brake system and perform a component check on the front and rear suspension. The final check comes on Minneapolis, MN roads as your Ferrari is road tested to ensure everything is in good working order.

Year 2 or 12,500 miles

Similar to the first year, the vital systems are checked plus auxiliary belt replacement, engine inspection, and checking the tightness of gearbox mounting fasteners are performed.

Year 4 or 37,500 miles

The checks from the second year are repeated along with a replacement of the spark plugs and another auxiliary belt replacement.

Additional Ferrari Maintenance Tips

A similar Ferrari maintenance schedule should be completed over the life of the vehicle with annual inspections to ensure your performance isn’t compromised. Keep in mind that how many miles the vehicle has driven can also affect its scheduled maintenance as well as the specifics of the model. For example, the F355 often requires engine-out Ferrari service every five years.

There’s no reason to let your Ferrari go untreated. The Ferrari 7-year maintenance plan is tied to the vehicle, not the owner, so you can find the care you need for your Prancing Horse car. Make sure your vehicle is ready for the road by scheduling service today!

Extended Coverage Options

On top of the 7-year maintenance plan, every new Ferrari comes with a 3-year/unlimited mileage factory warranty. At the end of the warranty period, that coverage can be extended with a two-year bumper-to-bumper warranty to protect you on Minneapolis, MN streets through the fourth and fifth year of ownership.

When you’ve found your dream car, you don’t have to worry about long-term ownership with the Power15 extended warranty program that allows owners to lengthen their coverage for up to 15 years of ownership. After the bumper-to-bumper coverage is complete, drivers can annually extend the warranty coverage up to the 15th year.
