Raise car:
Remove right side diffuser
Remove left side difuser
Remove ending under pannel
position oil catch under sump
remove sump bolt and allow to drain (22mm?)
replace sump drain bolt and tighten (use new copper washer)
position oil catch under engine
remove engine oil bolt (12mm allen)
allow to drain
replace allen bolt and tighten (use new copper washer)
replace oil filter
Add 8 Qts of oil replace oil cap
start engine, check for leaks
stop engine, measure oil level and top up as required.
Replace underpannel
Replace diffusers
lower car

Sump drain plug is nestled under the right diffuser near the convergence of a triangulation subframe tubing. THis is shown in the users manual.

Engine drain is located at the front bottom of the oil pan. This is shown in the users manual.

I use M1 and do this every 3,000. 10Qts and a filter cost about $70.

Do not overfill. My car tends to take 9.2Qts even with 10Qt capacity.

anyspecial tricks of the Ferrari I need to know?
I have no idea where "anything is on this car" :-)
