I prefer Red Line's transaxle fluid. It really smooths out the shifts and cost less too.

I changed it last night it actually took in layman's terms 1 US gallon plus 3/4 of one US quart.

I would still like to know if the Factory put a blue colored oil in F355s at the factory?

thanks,

Dave

I am wondering if the manual for my car has a typo. You wouldn't think it would be that large of difference btwn cars. Do you think the Italians know the diff btwn a pint and a qt? (I better call the dealer) :-)

At least you don't have to put in 10 qts like us TR guys! Good move to change to OEM oil. Have a nice trip.

Today i purchased 10 pints of Ferrari spec Oil from Ferrari of seattle for $147.21. I had changed my Transaxle Oil when I bought the car at 6200 mi. In going through the records which I have back to birth - the transaxle oil was never changed before that point. The oil came out Blue. My neighbor who just bought his car has blue transaxle oil also. Tino claims Ferrari Transaxle oil is not blue its natural oil color. Tino believes the Blue oil is a non Ferrari oil. WHO CAN SETTLE THIS DEBATE? I'm putting the Ferrari of Seattle oil in before the Canada trip at 12,200 miles - who knows it might be like magic beans at that price.
