355 Annual Maintenance Routine

Many do brake fluid too.

Bradan does
Engine oil/filter
gearbox oil
coolant
brake fluid

Not doing the coolant apparently leads to premature gearbox oil/coolant heat exchanger failure.

 

I do annual/bi-annual/annual/major- repeat- Religiously- based on time regardless of miles.

I can find/post the work orders for both annual and bi-annual if that would be helpful.

Pretty much as/what you stated - I do the brake fluid on the bi-annuals.

Cheers

 

As promised, here are the Annual and Bi-Annual invoices from my local Dealer for my 1995 355 GTS - Hope this helps - Cheers

didnt think the 355 had a pollen filter?

in addition to the above mine does a four wheel alignment check.

 

You can fit a Dodge filter to the fresh air intake

I answered but then I saw you said "Annual" maintenance...

 

Oil, filter, gear box oil, coolant, brake fluid

 

weekly service: drive, drive hard, drive, drive hard= no problems, car says thank you non-verbally
Annual= oil change
monthly check oil level.
2-3 years: transmission oil
6-7 years: engine out.

 

And only change your coolant and brake fluids at the 7 year major? I am not sure that is the best advice for a 355.

 

Depends on the kind of coolant. Extended life,etc.

if the BMW and Mercedes coolants are rated for 15 years, it surely can make it 7.

my excellent mechanic laughs at the excessive fluid service intervals discussed on here.

 

Oil and filters (oil air and fuel)

Brake fluid flush

Check antifreeze PH every 6 months and adjust flush and refilled 2 years

Transmission and gear check and replaced every 2 years (synthetic oil and lube used only)

Complete check of all safety items brakes, steering, suspension, lights etc

Then drive, drive and drive more —- like any good stallion they are happy when they stretch their legs a lot——

I drive it really hard until something breaks, then I take it in open wallet to a trusted mechanic and do everything he recommends.

 

You would be a good customer.

 

Glad the invoice screenshots were helpful- Cheers

Another place to start/refer to is N6 - N10 in the Ferrari owners manual (available in PDF if you don't have the physical one) since Ferrari designed, engineered and built the car, Ferrari might have some decent insight as to the recommended maintenance schedule.
