Driver Assistance Gearbox Modes: F1 transmission offers 'Sport' and 'Race' modes, adjusting shift speed and aggression. Suspension: Optional ' স্ক्यू (Scuderia)' suspension system (stiffer setup). Standard independent double-wishbone suspension front and rear. Connectivity Diagnostics: OBD-II diagnostics available, but specialized Ferrari diagnostic tools (e.g., Leonardo) are often required for full F1 system analysis. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Major Service Interval: Annual or every 10,000-12,000 miles (whichever comes first), with specific focus on transmission fluid changes every 24,000 miles or 24 months. Clutch Life Expectancy: Highly variable based on driving style, typically 20,000-50,000 miles. F1 clutch packs may have a slightly shorter lifespan if driven aggressively. Fluid Specifications Gearbox Oil: Manual: SAE 75W-90 API GL-4 or GL-5 (e.g., Castrol Syntrax Longlife). F1 Gearbox/Hydraulic System: Specific hydraulic fluid, consult manual for exact part number/specification (e.g., Pentosin CHF 11S or equivalent). Clutch Fluid: DOT 4 brake fluid (same as brake system, but must be kept clean). Known Issues Common Transmission Problems: F1 hydraulic pump wear, F1 actuator seal leaks, synchromesh wear on high-mileage manual transmissions, differential output shaft seal leaks, clutch wear (especially F1). Repair Specialization: Due to complexity, specialized tools and knowledge are required for F1 gearbox and clutch system repairs. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Manufacturer Legacy: Founded by Enzo Ferrari, renowned for motorsport success and producing high-performance road cars.
