Ferrari 512 BB

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Ferrari 512 BB clutch fluid capacity is 0,4 liter. Service intervals consist of a 10000 km check. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

  • Check 10000 km
512 BB (1976-1981)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,4 liter
  • Check 10000 km

Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 512 BB carries a clutch fluid capacity of 0.4 liter across both the carbureted 512 BB (1976-1981) and the fuel-injected 512 BBi (1981-1984) variants, indicating a relatively small hydraulic reservoir consistent with a dedicated clutch actuation circuit rather than a combined brake and clutch system.
  • Both the 512 BB and 512 BBi use a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch engagement is managed through fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable, which makes maintaining the correct fluid level directly relevant to pedal feel and actuation reliability.
  • The specified service action for both variants is a check at every 10,000 km under normal use conditions, rather than a full fluid replacement interval, reflecting a monitoring-based approach to clutch fluid maintenance at that mileage point.
  • The 0.4 liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, applicable to topping up or servicing the hydraulic clutch reservoir, and is not an overhaul or system-flush quantity associated with a complete circuit drain.
  • The 10,000 km check interval applies equally to the 512 BB (1976-1981) and the 512 BBi (1981-1984), with no differentiation in service frequency between the two despite the mechanical distinction introduced with fuel injection on the BBi.
