Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 456 GT/GTA carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 5 liters, which applies equally to both normal service fills and the initial service change.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transaxle fluid interval calls for a check at 10,000 km and a full change at 20,000 km or every 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • An initial service change is specified at 10,000 km, which is half the distance of the standard normal-use change interval of 20,000 km.
  • The 24-month time limit paired with the 20,000 km distance interval under normal use means fluid age alone can trigger a change before the mileage threshold is reached.
  • The transaxle placement in the 456 GT/GTA is a rear-mounted unit, which is consistent with the 5-liter capacity figure — a notably larger volume than front-mounted gearboxes typically require.
