458 what is 10k service and what is post 2013 458?

2) - just below your post was this one which might help https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/458-italia-differences-in-model-years.486695/

 

That’s an easy one.

Two reasons:

1) Starting in 2012 (March?), Ferrari offered the free 7 year scheduled maintenance plan.

2) The urban legend that sporadic DCT sensor failures have something to do with model years alone.

Separating myth from empiric data:

a) Most DCT sensor failures happened in early production Californias, the first Ferrari to house the technology, not 458s, although 458s aren’t immune to failure, as neither Ferrari of the 2008-2015 period is (see below).

b) There’s no evidence post-2012 458s are more or less prone to DCT sensor failures.

c) There’s no evidence the 458 suffers more or less failures than other Ferraris, once there are reported cases in F12s and FFs as well, regardless of model year.

d) A DCT sensor failure isn’t the same as a transmission failure.

e) A DCT sensor failure nowadays doesn’t imply the overhaul of the entire transmission/gearbox.

f) Gearbox is manufactured by Getrag, not by Ferrari.

g) Gearbox fluid, deemed by Ferrari to last the whole life of the car and not needing maintenance, can and should be changed, the benefits being obvious in terms of longevity.

h) Heat is public enemy no.1

Once you’re a recent 458 owner and you’re trying to learn more about the car (I commend you for that!), it might be a good idea to check our master sticky thread concerning virtually all aspects of the 458;

Anytime! My pleasure. Glad I could help in some way. Keep enjoying that gorgeous 458 of yours in good health!

Kindest regards,

the 458 is a very reliable car and there's no special service needed at 10k. Just regular fluid flushes and perhaps sparks, and these services can be done by indys for much less

 

Hello,

I just had an annual service done on my 2015 458 Italia with 10,025 on my 458’s odometer. It included engine oil and filter replacement, cabin/pollen filter replacement and replacement of the engine air filter.

It was done as a part of the seven-year maintenance plan, so I cannot offer any information on the cost. The previous annual service included a more comprehensive replacement of components and was done at approximately 7k miles one year earlier.

I also added an option out of the Ferrari Collection, the lighted “458 Italia” option for the under door ground lights. This projects “458 Italia” in lights on the ground, under the two doors when they are opened. That cost approx $700.00 including tax.

Cheers!

It’s not easy to get a good shot of the light projection since it’s on the ground, but here it is...

This option includes two light units and four sets of special lenses that project the image in the ground below the door when it is opened.

Another option is also available, a Prancing Horse motif if you prefer. Cheers!

P.S. I do not see a way to preview the photo before posting through the app, hopefully it comes through ok. Image Unavailable, Please Login
