    Anyone get this warning? I guess the digitals are saying I need an oil change. Problem is, I live 6-8 hours away from a dealer and civilization. So major pita for just that. Thinking about just ignoring it. What say you?

    You don't say how old the car is, your mileage, when was the last service, when the next one is due, how many services etc so difficult for anybody to comment on.

    One thing that is certain – the car is still within warranty so if you ignore the message Ferrari will be able to say you invalidated your warranty.

    Perhaps check with your dealer to see if they believe the message is valid and get what they say in writing.

    Just got this warning for first time. Reached out to dealer.

    but in the meantime, any thoughts?

    I have driven approx. 1200 miles since I bought the car used from Ferrari dealer back in the fall.

    coincidentally (or not), I had the car washed today.

    thank you
    Brian

    I would take car to dealer and get oil changed. It’s under warranty and there is too much risk to not follow maintenance procedures.

    I put 1,800 miles on my 2024 GTB last year. Annual service time came up this month and dealer said it doesn’t qualify for free oil change until next year. I just paid to have it done. It’s just cheap insurance to change oil annually.
