I just took delivery of a 98 3 days ago. I plan to do all the work but I have no experience with the 355. These videos are unbelievably valuable!
Congrats on the purchase man! Glad these videos help, at least I got one viewer LOL
excellent video, step by step, organized and example of preventive oil change, demystifying the complexity that many talk about. I would like you to share the wheel model, manufacturer and tire size if possible, I really appreciate it.
Thanks! The wheels are hamann pg3's 19*8 19*11
That is one of the cleanest engine bays I have seen. You should be proud.
Thanks, that car is a gem
Just got a 355. Will be doing this and many other things myself in the coming years. Thanks for the videos. Happy to subscribe.
Welcome aboard!
Excellent once again, I'm so glad I found your channel. I've always done minor maintenance on my rides and My ex-Testarossa was no exception, not as intimidating as people think. BTW great trick for draining vertical mounted oil filters, 'ya learn something every day. Also concerning the oil cooler reservoir I would not bother if using the same brand of oil but might if using a new brand. For oil with a high zinc component I personally love Mobil-1 just FYI.
I agree, I had to address it for the video obviously.
I generally use mobile one in everything, it's a great oil and is readily available. There are some concerns with the 355 of foaming, so many people opt for different oils like Pennzoil Euro. I use red line in this last oil change for it's zinc content
Shelby told me to check out your channel! Like what I see!! Keep up the good work bro!
Great video!!!! Love the extra clips...
Thanks man. I subscribed to you... I'm currently looking for an SL
Great assistant!
He's the best, always is asking to help me with anything I do in the garage
Nice car, love the colour.
Nice! Thanks for the info bro!
Good oil choice. 👍
3:56 gave me an actual panic attack until I got my bearings.... nice edit, sir!
I have never removed the oil cooler hose to drain the cooler on my 355, but I never put enough miles on my car in a year that the oil gets very dirty. As you stated those fitting are not meant to be frequently removed and refitted. When I change the oil I usually drain the sump and the oil tank first then after those are fully drained, I remove the oil filter. I have never needed to puncture the filter can before removing it because it has always self drained on its own and has never had any oil in it when I removed it. Thanks for the video!
It's a Ferrari thing lol, every year the ritual draining almost new oil to replace with new oil lol.
Anyway, several people on the forums recommended the puncture. I've just always done it, never tried it without making the whole. It's good to know that it won't spill everywhere either way
I have a couple of cars with vertical cartridge filters (can't be punched) and I usually just crack open the filter housing before I drain it. The filters rarely have much oil in them by the time I get up there to remove it.
Punching a hole in the oil filter is a brilliant hack. Well done, sir.
I think I'd measure the amount that comes out of the sump / tank to see if it's draining out of the cooler when it's still attached.
I let it drip out of the sump and tank for about 3 hours, before I unhook the cooler. It does not appear to be able to back drain through it
Great video, the 355 is one of my top five favorite cars of all time. Everything is just about perfect on them in my opinion. The shape, the style the sound. It’s one of those very few that are beautiful from every angle. I dream of owning or hell even driving one. I’ve Driven a 360, nsx, 911 turbo, viper, Lamborghini. Still would buy the 355 if I could.
I've been a big fan since I was a kid, so glad I got a chance to own one of these masterpieces
Great video. I do not drain the oil cooler on every change. I remove the filter after the sump and tank are finished dripping and find that the filter doesn’t drip a drop when removed, so I’ve never punched it, but a good suggestion. I know talking oil type is a no-no, but nice to see you’re using Red Line. Spec’s better than the Penzoil. Thank you again, enjoying your channel.
Thanks Mike, I've only drained the cooler twice out of 7 oil changes. Several people on the forums recommended punching a hole, I guess I just never tried it without, good to know it doesn't spill everywhere lol
@@ExoticCarDIY I figure draining the cooler during an engine out is sufficient, unless of course as you are doing, changing oil type. Heck, I had a 308, the manual stated if the oil type is changed, to drive a few miles and change again. Ahhh!😬
What's the part number for that oil filter(craftsman)?
Craftsman 20519
What oil did you end up putting in? I don’t have a Ferrari but I’m just curious!
I switched to redline this time around. I did a lot of reading and seems like it's better formulated for the heat, and type of motor in my car. But like I said, every one loves to argue about oil lol
I do not drain the oil cooler and it was recommended to me not to do so. On a major service is where that gets done for me.
I changed the oil didn't drain the oil cooler and by mistake put 9 1/2 liters back into the oil tank. I haven't started it yet. Should I drain a liter out before I start it or check it when hot? Also how is the best way to drain a liter out?
I would think the engine sump would be the least messy to try to drain a quart from.
It's still going to come out pretty fast.
Yes you really have to check it once everything is warmed up. Once I'm confident that there is a safe amount of oil in there, I'll start it, let it get up to temp. And I've always found the best ways to check it while running.
You can shut it off and run back there and check it, but as soon as you turn it off, it's slowly starts to drain out of the tank.
How often do you change your oil?
Per mileage or per year regardless of mileage?
I try to do yearly on the 355 since I never really put enough miles on it.
I just did a a 30k service with timing belts, tensioners, crank seal and cam seals. I removed the oil tank to refinish the black wrinkle paint finish. The sump fully drained. The tank completely drained and cleaned out and I started with 9 quarts and got it up to temp and checked while running and it barely registered on the minimum of the stick so I put in one more quart so 10 total and it shows barely up to the min line at full temp while running. It's a 1997 F355 Spyder. Should I put in another half quart or full quart?
If you are checking it while the car is running while warned up, and it's still showing minimum, yes, I would add a bit more. Sometimes new hot oil is extremely hard to read on the stick just be very careful not to overfill
@@ExoticCarDIY Thanks for the response. Should I aim for the level to be in the middle between min and max or closer to max?
@@schigara middle is best, check every few drives
@@ExoticCarDIY It took 10.75 quarts total to get the midway on the stick. Thanks again.
Wow they could have designed that better! Nice vid though.
Did you only need to use one crush washer??
One crush washer for the sump plug, one for the tank plug
@@ExoticCarDIY thank you, I just picked up a variety pack in hopes that I’ll find the right size. Would Castro Edge 5w 40 be a good choice?
@@115jwalker Lots of great oils also l Lots of people have their own prefs, but really, as long as its a good synthetic, you'll be fine.
The one thing the 355 can be subject to is "oil foaming" There was some discussion of the forums about that. i seem to remember mobil 1 being a culprit surprisingly.
Castrol edge is great. Ive run Pennzoil euro platinum for a while and more recently redline.
@@ExoticCarDIY I picked up Driven DP40 5w 40 for turbo diesels as it has a high ZDDP content from what I could tell. Do you think that’s a safe move?
Why have I heard that you need to drop the engine to even do an oil change on these cars? Clearly that's not the case, but what basic maintenance job requires dropping the engine?
The timing belts.
Ferrari recommends at the timing belts get changed every 3 years or 30,000 miles. The general consensus is that 3 years is way excessive, most of us stretch it to 5-7yr.
I actually literally just finished changing my belts again. I shot about 80 hours of footage, I need to start editing it to make a video.
@@ExoticCarDIY Ah good to know, thanks for the reply! I've been playing around with the idea of buying into either a 355 or 360 sometime in the future. Currently love my AMG with a BMW M3 on order but that scream in the older Ferrari V8s is so enticing!
@@ExoticCarDIY I'd watch the whole 80 👍
Eventually these videos will have a lot views! These cars are going to be vintage classics soon. Sad that eventually Ferrari will be all electric. Just another reason I don't care for Europe.
As long as they're helping people I'm happy.. RUclips does have an algorithm that can hide these videos from people however. As long as the people that want to see it get to see it, great!
@@ExoticCarDIY These are great they will help people for years to come! I don’t own one yet but hope to in the next 5 years. If I’m lucky enough I’ll be doing all my own work and eating Romen Noodles for the rest of my life but it’s worth it! They will never make anything like these EVER😢 Your also the only American channel doing this so it’s very unique. I watch everything F355 so I’ve followed Ratrossa but he’s UK. I think you can reasonably expect to grow similar size or larger. Great channel AMAZING content! Much appreciated even if I don’t own one.
