Additional Notes
- The Ferrari Mondial 8 (1980-1982) and Mondial quattrovalvole (1982-1985) share a 0.6-liter brake fluid capacity, which applies solely to the hydraulic brake system without clutch integration.
- The Mondial 3.2 carries a 1-liter capacity for a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, reflecting the added fluid demand of routing brake fluid through clutch actuation as well.
- The Mondial T holds the largest capacity across all listed variants at 1.6 liters, also serving a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, representing a notable increase over the 3.2's 1-liter figure.
- The 1.6-liter capacity of the Mondial T applies consistently across both the 1989-1990 and 1991-1993 production periods, with no change in fluid volume between those two spans.
- The Mondial 8 and Mondial quattrovalvole share a 10,000 km check interval, while the Mondial T specifies a considerably shorter 3,000 km check interval under normal use conditions.
- The Mondial T's change interval is defined by a dual condition of 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, whereas the Mondial 8, quattrovalvole, and 3.2 specify only a 12-month change interval with no distance threshold.
- A 12-month change interval on the Mondial 8, quattrovalvole, and 3.2 reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time regardless of mileage, making calendar-based replacement the governing criterion for those variants.
