    I'm doing a full fluid change. What is everyone using for fluids:

    1. Engine Oil
    2. Transaxle
    3. DCT
    5. Brakes
    6. Power steering
    7. Coolant

    I'm finding the Ferrari-recommended fluids are not readily available. What is everyone using as an alternative? What is Ferrari recommending? I downloaded a 488GTB WS manual, but much information is missing. Please mention fluid capacities. Nothing is mentioned in the WS on capacity--the table is not included in the manual.

    I guess you are new to the 488GTB ? Make sure recalls have been done.

    One involved the Evap canister and the second the cap of the refill brake fluid reservoir
