Additional Notes
- The Ferrari 348 hydraulic brake system holds 1.6 liters of brake fluid, a capacity that reflects the volume required to fill the master cylinder reservoir, brake lines, and all four caliper circuits in a mid-engine sports car layout.
- The 1.6-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount needed to maintain and bleed the system during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul of dry components.
- A fluid level inspection interval of 10,000 km is specified under normal use conditions, indicating a mileage-based checkpoint rather than a time-based one for monitoring reservoir levels.
- The change interval is set at 12 months regardless of mileage, which reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid — a property that causes the fluid to absorb moisture from the atmosphere over time, lowering its boiling point and reducing braking performance.
- The combination of a 10,000 km check interval alongside a 12-month change interval means fluid condition is evaluated on a calendar basis for replacement, while level monitoring follows accumulated distance.
