Oil change this weekend, should I do anything else??

Hi guys,

as the title states I'm planning to change the oil this week end and I have ordered the Ricambi kit. There is a ton of info here and I feel pretty confident that it'll be pretty easy. The only thing that I'm really wondering is if there is anything else I need to look at changing? Air filter, or any other fluids that should be changed yearly.

The car had its major done about 2 years ago and has been regualary serviced by the local dealership, but I thought I'd start to do a little work myself so I can fully enjoy the Ferrari experience. I had a CEL that came on late last year and it was diagnosed as O2 sensors failing. I have already replaced all 4 myself which was fun, and a lot cheaper than the dealership quoted. The car has no other problems and drives beautifully.

Any help or insight is welcome. Thanks

 

I searched for a "how to" on this and couldn't find anything. It is really easy, and no one should have to pay to get this done. You will need ramps, wrench and some zip ties.
Here is what I did:

1. Raise the rear by backing up on ramps.
2. Turn the battery off (switch is in the trunk passenger side)
3. Locate O2 plugs in engine compartment and trace wire down to sensor in exhaust. I had my brother wiggle the wires while I was under the car.
4. Unplug sensor and remove corresponding sensor. They are screwed before and after the Cats and are pretty tough to get out but with some effort I managed to get them unscrewed. Not trick just effort.
5. Check the model number of the old sensor to the new to make sure they match. There are 2 types of O2 sensors pre Cat and post Cat. Don't mix them up.
6. Pass wires back up through engine bay.
7. Zip tie wires and plug in.
8. Repeat 3 more times.

I only had codes of 1 bank of sensors but changed all as I didn't want to have to do it again.

Good luck.

 

Perfect thanks. I will follow you lead, I have no problems with being excessive.
