Additional Notes
- The Ferrari 488 brake fluid capacity is listed at 1 liter across all four variants covered by these specifications, which is consistent with a service fill volume for a hydraulic brake system rather than a full overhaul quantity.
- The 488 GTB carries a brake fluid check interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving rather than track or high-stress operation.
- A 24-month change interval is specified for the 488 GTB, reflecting the time-based degradation of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time regardless of distance driven.
- The 488 Spider, introduced in 2016, shares the same 1-liter capacity, 20,000 km check interval, and 24-month change interval as the GTB, despite being a convertible variant with a different body structure.
- The 488 Pista and 488 Pista Spider, both introduced in 2018, carry identical brake fluid specifications to the GTB and Spider, with a 1-liter capacity, 20,000 km check, and 24-month replacement schedule under normal use conditions.
- All four variants in these specifications share the hydraulic brake system designation, and none carry a separate severe-use interval, meaning only a single normal-use service schedule is listed for each.
