    Quick question, can you tell me if you are changing your own oil or do you take it to your favoriate Ferrari Dealer?

    I changed my TR and 308 all the time, but have not tried doing the same on my 430 F1

    I think most people take it to the dealer since their car is under warranty. Also they want to have service history for resale purpose. Since you are able to do it yourself, I don't see why not. Just document it.

    I changed the oil in my 360 when I had it. Very easy. Didn't try it on my 430 b/c you have to remove the undertray b/c the oil filter is positioned much lower and I couldn't reach it from the top. Plus to remove the undertray it's MUCH easier to have the car on a lift. It's a big piece.

    body pan needs to remove on the 360 also.

    on my 360 a 4-post lift in my garage & the proper oil filter wrench/metric hex its a piece of cake.

    If you do not have a lift, you will wish to pass on it..
