Additional Notes
- The Ferrari 512 BB carries a steering box fluid capacity of 0.2 liter, a figure consistent with a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector steering box rather than a rack-and-pinion system with a separate hydraulic reservoir.
- Both the 512 BB (1976-1981) and the 512 BBi (1981-1984) share an identical 0.2 liter capacity, indicating no change to the steering box unit between the carbureted and fuel-injected variants.
- The service action specified is a check at every 10,000 km rather than a drain-and-refill interval, which reflects the sealed or low-consumption nature of a steering box where fluid loss is monitored rather than routinely replaced on a fixed schedule.
- The 10,000 km check interval applies under normal use conditions for both configurations, meaning the specification does not account for a separate severe-use interval for the steering box fluid.
