Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari Testarossa transaxle holds 9.5 liters of manual transmission fluid, a notably large capacity that reflects the rear-mounted transaxle layout, where the gearbox and differential share a common housing rather than being separated as in a conventional drivetrain.
  • The 9.5-liter figure represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required when servicing the unit in the vehicle, as opposed to a full overhaul capacity measured on a bench with all passages and galleries completely drained.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified check interval for the Testarossa transaxle fluid is 10,000 km, a routine inspection point intended to verify fluid level and condition without necessarily performing a full drain and refill.
  • The change interval under normal use conditions is set at 20,000 km, which is twice the check interval, meaning two fluid level inspections are expected to occur within each full change cycle.
  • The single set of capacity and interval figures applies uniformly across the 1984-1991 model range, with no variation recorded between earlier and later production years of the Testarossa.
