Ferrari 275 GTS/GTB

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Ferrari 275 GTS/GTB brake fluid capacity is 0,8 liter. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km or 6 months and changing at 10000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 275 GTS/GTB brake fluid system serves a dual function, covering both the hydraulic brake and clutch circuits across all three variants.
  • All three variants — the 275 GTB (1964-1966), the 275 GTB/4 (1966-1968), and the 275 GTS (1964-1966) — share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.8 liter, indicating a consistent hydraulic system volume across the model range.
  • A 0.8 liter capacity is relatively modest and reflects the compact, integrated nature of a combined brake and clutch hydraulic circuit typical of grand touring vehicles from the mid-1960s.
  • The check interval across all three variants is set at 5,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first, applying under normal use conditions.
  • The change interval is specified at 10,000 km or every 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid is renewed at twice the distance and time span of the check interval.
  • The time-based change interval of 12 months reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time regardless of mileage, making calendar-based renewal as relevant as distance-based renewal.
  • The 275 GTB/4, produced from 1966-1968, carries the same 0.8 liter capacity and identical service intervals as the earlier 275 GTB despite featuring a different engine configuration, indicating no change to the hydraulic system volume between the two GTB generations.
