    Good evening everyone
    My name is Josh and I am new to Ferrari Chat and a prospective Ferrari owner. I am considering the F430 and the 458. I am comparing the maintenance costs between the two and my question is; can anyone here give me some insight as to what aftermarket fluids you are putting in your 458?? Such as PS, coolant, brake fluid, and diff and trans fluid. I ask because I have searched many forums and everyone seems to have their own preference as to what they use and I understand the factory Shell products can be hard to find.
    Thank you guys for your help!!!!!

    I recommend using the factory fluids and filters.

    As far as the DCT fluids—again the factory fill for both fluids is for at least 10 years and 100,000 miles
