    Guys - my FF is now 11 years old. It has had regular maintenance and oil changes, but now service department says I need to replace all fluids, spark plugs and belts. About $5,500 estimate. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Mine is 12 years old and had all of the above done this spring at my indy for the equivalent of $2.5k.

    Unless you want to stick with the main dealer, your car is at an age now where moving into the independent network won’t hurt its value.

    sounds reasonable at current dealer price around $300 an hour if you are in the US.

    For the FF guys….assuming you don’t have the PTU issue…..it sounds like your routine maintenance is very light compared to us Maranello 550/575 guys (with us doing timing belts every 5).

    I need to search to see if there is anyone with an FF thread with big miles and some commentary.

    Yeah yearly maintenance is just fluids and filters. I’m at 30K and so spark plugs are due.

    i'm about to turn 40k on my 2012 and if im going to do:

    Engine oil
    Brake fluid
    Air filter
    Ancillary drive belt
    Ptu fluid
    Dct (gearbox/diff) fluid
    Power steering fluid
    Spark plugs
    Anti pollen filter
    Active carbon filter
    Coolant

    Both my DTC and PTU fluids were done relatively recent but it easier to keep a baseline this way.

    That’s indeed what many owners do after the end of the warranty.
