Additional Notes
- The Ferrari 456 GT/GTA cooling system holds 14 liters of coolant, a capacity consistent with the demands of a front-mounted V12 engine requiring substantial thermal management across a large cooling circuit.
- The 14-liter figure represents a full system fill, meaning the total volume of the cooling circuit including the radiator, engine block passages, heater core, and expansion tank combined.
- A check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions for the 456 GT/GTA cooling system, meaning the coolant level and condition are to be inspected on that schedule rather than necessarily replaced at each interval.
- The 12-month time-based component of the check interval reflects that coolant degrades chemically over time regardless of distance driven, making calendar-based inspection relevant even for low-mileage examples of the 456 GT/GTA.
- A single specification row covers both the 456 GT and 456 GTA variants across the full 1992-2003 production span, indicating no differentiation in cooling system capacity or check interval between the manual-transmission GT and the automatic-transmission GTA.
