Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 288 GTO uses a combined hydraulic system that serves both the brake and clutch circuits, meaning a single fluid reservoir governs two critical functions simultaneously.
  • The specified fill level for the 1984-1985 hydraulic brake and clutch system is defined as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than a fixed volume, which is characteristic of a service top-up or maintenance fill rather than a dry system overhaul quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake and clutch fluid in the 288 GTO carries a change interval of 12 months, reflecting the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and degrades its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
