    What kind of fluid are you guys using in the PTU Hydraulic reservoir? I can't find Shell TT 1055 online and is what the manual advises.

    Will the car alert me when the PTU fluid is low. I have 51k miles and not find any record of the hydraulic fluid being changed(Ferrari states lifetime fluid). The issue is my main fluid tank is not translucent and I can't look to see the level. I was thinking about adding fluid until it shows slightly in the overflow, but if there is a sensor I will just wait for it to trigger I suppose.

    What year is your FF? My 2015 requires a PTU oil change every 12,500 miles.

    2012 - Which PTU fluid is required to be changed at 12.5k miles? There are two as mentioned. Also the workshop manual does not even mention a change of the gear oil until 62.5k miles. Very curious where you are hearing this, but also would agree this is a great practice.

    Interestingly the manual uses the term "replace" for oil and filters, but uses the term "change" for the PTU oil. Is there a difference between replace and change, go figure. o_O
