I know i may sound daft but your help is appriceiated
This is been discussed to death here .................READ THE MANUALL !!! Or use the search function.
I tried the search first and the manual is in the safe at work (i'm not there till next week). thanks for beingpolite and friendly
He is right, it is been discussed to death. If you search oil & filter, limit to 360/430 section, and look for posts by Rifledriver you will get a lot of good hits. Here is one thread of many: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134203 You should note that this is not a simple job. You need a torque wrench and special fitting for the filter. The filter has a torque spec and that is important. There are multiple drain points, etc. Eithe way, good luck
