To keep your Ferrari running at its best and maintain its value, it's crucial to stay on top of regular maintenance and service. But how often should you service your Ferrari? The service experts at Ferrari of Long Island in Plainview, NY have the answers.
When to Service Your Ferrari
Ferrari recommends servicing your vehicle based on both mileage intervals and time intervals, whichever comes first. Here are the key points to keep in mind, along with some common services:
- Oil changes: The recommended oil change interval for most newer Ferrari models is every 10,000 miles or once a year. Regular oil changes keep your engine running smoothly and prevent premature wear.
- Tire rotations: Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles helps ensure even wear and prolongs the life of your tires. Uneven tire wear can affect your Ferrari's handling and performance.
- Wheel alignments: If you notice your Ferrari pulling to one side or if your steering wheel is off-center, it may be time for a wheel alignment. Alignments should be checked annually or whenever you notice issues like uneven tire wear or a crooked steering wheel.
- Battery checks: Ferrari batteries are designed to last several years, but it's important to have them checked annually to ensure optimal performance. A weak or failing battery can leave you stranded. Car batteries typically need to be replaced every three to five years.
- Brake checks: Your brakes are critical for safety and performance. Have your brakes inspected at least once a year or whenever you notice changes in braking performance as you drive around Huntington.
- If you frequently drive your Ferrari on the track or participate in high-performance driving events, you may need to service your car more often.
- Even if you don't hit the recommended mileage interval, bringing your Ferrari in for service once a year for annual maintenance tasks is important.
