    Hi guys

    another few questions about a 3.0qv Mondial

    how often do you guys change your oil and oil filter ? what oil filters do you use? what is the preffered oil i.e grade for these engines synth/mineral ? i know the book says 10/50 but that was written in 82 lol

    what sort of oil pressure should you see hot and idling.....and under load ?

    what plugs do you lot use...std plugs or uprated ?

    how much oil do your engines get through over how many miles ? ( i had a jaguar and it used to use a ltr every 1500 miles and the dealer said it was supposed to) as occording to my hand book the oil consumption seems quite high

    also i have noticed that at night my switches dont light up i.e windows,glove box, ariel.......the heater switches and ac switches do, just the rockers.....are they supposed to ? if so i got bulbs to fix lol

    sorry for asking all these trivial questions but its my first foray into ferrari ownership and i want to look after her

    Pugo

    I do about 6,000 kms a year. Change oil and filter annually, Fram filter and semi synthetic oil for older engines (mine has 70,000 miles and strong as ever) Standard plugs. Lights on consol are a bulb leading along fibre optic cable, check bulb and also check the connections for the top of the cable to the underside of the consol itself, they are always working loose on my car. Oil pressure on the guage should be around a quarter. I don't use much oil at all. Hope this helps!
