Now that the Ferrari 458 is getting a little older, many of them are no longer eligible for the factory maintenance program which means you can either take the car to the dealership (or an independent shop) and pay a lot ($400-500!) or you can DIY the oil change.

Fortunately with a little patience, changing the oil in the Ferrari 458 is pretty simple. The most difficult part is simply removing the under tray panel. There are over 20 10mm bolts holding the under tray on, and a few 4mm hex heads holding the diffuser on as well. Both will need to be removed.

Once the panels are removed, you simply unbolt the 2 sump pan drain plugs using a hex head. Drain the oil into a catch can. Replace the drain plugs using a new crush washer and torque to 60nm or 45ft-lbs.

Remove the drain plug on the oil sump tank using a 22mm socket. Drain the oil into a catch can and replace the plug with a new crush washer. Torque to 60nm or 45ft-lbs.

Remove the oil filter canister from the top of the engine using a 32mm socket. Replace the oil filter cartridge and the o-ring. Reinstall and torque to 25nm or 18ft-lbs.

Using the Launch X-431 PROS Mini or another computer that has the correct functionality, connect to the OBD-II port and reset the oil service life indicator.

Add about 9 quarts of Pennzoil 5w-40 oil, then start the engine and let the oil warm up to at least 160F. Once at temperature, check the oil level while the engine is running and add oil as necessary. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Color : Rosso Scuderia?

Really WAW, Greetings from DUBAI !! 458 owner

Vinícius Miranda says:

Great content mate!

Heath Weber says:

Why are you doing this yourself? Seems like a huge PITA. Not worth it. Just pay the dealer. By doing it yourself, you're actually devaluing the car to a degree. Ferrari buyers will typically look for dealer service records when considering whether or not to buy.

Sandy says:

My car also has a dry sump system. It's too much of a pain for me to work on in my advanced years. The car must be completely level. And mine is easy compared to the Ferrari's. Thankfully, my servicing dealership allows me to bring in my oil/filter. They only charge me for labor, EPA disposal and taxes. About $42. And, I can get the undercarriage checked out while it's up in the air. Not really worth it to change it myself anymore.

Alexander Zaks says:

как так можно…. бабки на тачки нагреб, а на подьемник нехватило ???

Amy Hansen says:

Have you thought of drilling holes in the pan so you can access the drain plugs without removing the pan?

M Public says:

I love that u use a generic filter tool – The Chinese are laughing and the Italians are pissed. awesome

Gabe Gordon says:

What a pain in the ass. Just to change oil. No way I’d be paying 2 k for an oil change

Mark Waldvogel says:

You don't need to remove the rear diffuser.

J S says:

Thanks for DIY vid. I have heard horror stories about changing your own oil and wrenching on exotics so before this video I was set with bringing mine to the stealership…. Good to know, thanks

eric kephart says:

Now I need to watch the vid on the 430 lol

TheMidnightNarwhal says:

Where do your source your torque specs data?

TheMidnightNarwhal says:

If you would use jack and jack stands could you drop the undertray without having to let it go down?

Speedokote refinish network says:

You put shelf Pennzoil in a ferarri ? ?

27 PayBack says:

100 dollars for my 355

Teddy Souter says:

Why not consider an elevated funnel or raising your drain bin upwards to mitigate the heated oil splash. I grew up in an old fashioned gas station, our drain bin was always never more than 12 inches away from the oil drain plug… This is a simple solution to oil drain splash…

Huracan Dude says:

Dan did you lowered the 458 yourself?

Jason Swango says:

Good Lord, that's a lot of work for an oil change! Coming from a Viper owner, and you know how easy it is to oil change one of those!
