  • Capacity 1,3 liter
  • Check 20000 km
  • Change 12 months

Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 550 Maranello shares a single hydraulic circuit across both the brake and clutch systems, meaning the 1.3-liter fluid capacity figure covers the combined volume of both subsystems rather than the brake circuit alone.
  • A 1.3-liter total capacity places the 550 Maranello's hydraulic system on the larger end for a road car, reflecting the demands of a high-performance braking setup paired with a hydraulically actuated clutch.
  • The change interval is set at 12 months regardless of distance traveled, meaning calendar time rather than mileage governs when fluid replacement is due under normal use conditions.
  • The 20,000 km figure applies to inspection or checking of the hydraulic system, not to fluid replacement, so the two service actions operate on entirely separate schedules.
  • Because the change interval is time-based at 12 months, a vehicle covering very low annual mileage would still require fluid replacement on the same schedule as one driven to the full 20,000 km inspection threshold.
