Ferrari 400

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Ferrari 400 brake fluid capacity is 1 liter. Service intervals include checking every 10000 km and changing every 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

  • Change 12 months
400 GT (1976-1979)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1 liter
  • Check 10000 km
  • Change 12 months

Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 400 GT (1976-1979) and 400 GTi (1979-1985) share an identical brake fluid capacity of 1 liter for the hydraulic brake system, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The 12-month change interval applies to normal use conditions across both the 400 GT and 400 GTi, meaning brake fluid replacement is time-based rather than mileage-based under standard operating circumstances.
  • A check interval of 10,000 km is specified for normal use on both configurations, establishing a distance-based inspection point that falls within the annual change cycle.
  • The consistency of the 1-liter capacity across the 1976-1985 model range reflects the shared hydraulic brake architecture between the carbureted 400 GT and the fuel-injected 400 GTi despite their mechanical differences.
