Ah, a Ratarossa upload. That's my Monday afternoon sorted. *Grabs biscuits*
You can learn all about fixing a 355 🤣
Never had a Ferrari and never will, but I love your videos! Inspiring even to those of us who drive more ordinary vehicles :-)
Your technical advice for Ferraris is the best in the whole web !
Really enjoyed this, I’ve done my own oil changes/servicing on various cars in the past and even tanks in my army days, but a Ferrari would of scared me senseless until I watched this. Another great upload, thank you.
cheers
Keep it up...great stuff! Warming up the oil by far the most fun part of the process!
You, sir, have just changed the dynamic of my potentially owning my absolute favorite Ferrari for the better. Thank you, thank you, thank you... A thousand times over.
Great tour - thanks! Nothing more satisfying than that torque wrench click. And for all of Ferrari's bonkers quirks, that oil filter configuration makes so much sense. Not freakin full when it comes time to remove it....
Good work. I used to change fluids warm, but then I figured the fluids circulated and drained to the lowest point after when it last ran. In fact I say changing at rest/atmospheric temp is better since the dirty fluid should have fully dripped off the expensive bits. Cheers!
Interesting!! than you for sharing
Ferrari F355 is my dream car.Thank you for showing how its easier to make the service.👌
As always excellent video
Loving your work sir. Stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks ratarossa, great stuff!
Hey Scott always love to watch your videos. Great detail in filming your work. That’s what I think sets your videos apart from others that just do the work and cut to the finished product. For those of us that turn our own wrenches your insight and detail is appreciated! More on the 308.
Working on a 355 would stress me out, but I am fascinated by how you're doing it. Gives me hope that I could service my own 355 one day.
Great video once again, and your right that noise didn’t sound good when taking the plug out !
Great effort Scott great car
The oil tank on the 348 is a lot easier to get to. Great tips, as always.
Thank you so much for these great and informative videos man. An F355 along with a Lamborghini Diablo (90-93, not the VT) are the cars I will be buying in the near future, but for me the joy (except for obviously driving them) is to be able to maintain them (at least to a certain extent) on my own.
Thanks Scott
This is easy to do oil change. Looks like will be getting that Ferrari 355 a lot earlier.
Happy Easter Both To You And All At Home.
Stay Safe
Great Stufff brooo
Well done 👍👍
The thing I most admire about these vids Scott (I’ve seen them all too) is your ability to avoid annoying filler sounds like umm, erm, like, yeah?’ You present so freely, like you’re on TV! Keep it up sir!!
thank you thats very kind words
Ratarossa ah, a Halfords breaker bar and extension set... I take it you have one of our Trade Cards??
Need a playlist of only standard service vids like this as well as your belt changes. Would be helpful. Even a highly used Ferrari is real $$ for me so I'm intimidated to buy a car with such pricey services. If I could do it myself, I'd be more likely to enjoy the dream. Great videos by the way, thanks for posting during the lock-in!
Hey man, nice video, as always.
Just wanted to add that 'OLIO CAMBIO' in Italian means 'TRANSMISSION OIL', not 'oil change'.
Keep up the good work!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks buddy ...i need to brush up on my italian
@@Ratarossa Any time, if you need any more translation done for the videos just sent it to me and I'll get it done!
great vid! to avoid all that oil spilling when you drain the engine oil you can simply leave the oil charge cap on place and remove it AFTER you have opened the drain cap. So the oil drains out slowly at the beginning.
ratarossa is the best.
Hi Ratarossa,
nice video(s)! I'm an italian guy who follow your channel and i confirm what have been already written by others. "Olio cambio" is "transmission oil", because in italian "cambiare" is the verb equivalent of "to change", but is also equivalent of "to shift". If you need some translation for something else, i'll be very pleased to help you!
Take care and have a good work!
Best regards/Saluti
Riccardo
This is fucking better then expected. Wow!
Nice !!! 😻
Thrills and spills of Ferrari servicing @8.13
Awesome! Will you be doing a vid on the sparkplug change?
I used a polythene ecp bag to catch the oil from the side tank, while it's coming out into the bag there's a small hole in the lower corner of the bag going into the oil disposal pan
Think I would pump out the oil reservoir from the top first then open the drain plug.
Great content!
A question... Do you lift the whole rear of the car using the gearbox as support?
Is it a convention that the gearbox bell housing should support more than half of the cars weight?
I love maintenance video!
Quick tip, I use a cheap tie-wrap, to hold my funnel.
great idea .... ive a drawer full of those. cheers
Greetings, great service video 👍🏿... Quick question, did you use a torque wrench on the transmission oil filler screw?
You need the upgrade to the cardboard creeper, the newspaper garage floor cover. Cheap and disposable. Great video again.
Great video, love the funnel with the hose genius!
I remember you taking me for a spin in your 348 convertible!! From Geoff Fox's brother!!
wow that was a while ago , are you still in Crowthorne ?
@@Ratarossa I'll send you an email bud :) stay safe!
sent you an email bud
My dream cars is all Ferrari (ferrari 308, f430, f355, 360 spider, ferrari dino 246 gt and 288 gto the most expensive)
That's easier to work on than my Honda ! Good job Ferrari 😎
Yet it costs 10 times as more to do at a dealer .....get my point here with the video LOL
Your confidence boosting DIY videos plus the recent price drop in Ferrari's (360/F430s in Hong Kong) is looking like bad news for my bank account! :)
Hope it inspires you to jump in a dream car
@@Ratarossa totally inspired, just trying to somehow justify it lol
do a major step by step, great video btw
Great video, like it a lot. Cambio in this case means Gear Box, in Italian like almost other latin based language the same word can have a totaly diferent meaning depending of the sentence where is located.
thanks for correcting my very poor italian LOL
@@Ratarossa no worries, i was just a bit nervous you could get ofended lol, some people dont like to be corrected., Even though you seem a very " earthed" guy lol.But what you miss in Italian you compenssates in skills, growing up with cars and mechanics gives me a diferent way to see your work and i like your aproach, you think out of the box what is rare here in the UK. Take care :) keep the good work.
"Cambio" means transmission in Italian :) Great work!
Cambio translates as "change"... it's used for currency exchange as well as meaning gearbox, and any other type of change....
Sir would you prefer a manual gts with the targa over this one
Any idea what this would cost at a dealer? Enjoying your channel 👍
20:02 - holy craps!
@Ratarossa What are the #tourqe #specs for the #tansmission #levelcheck the one u used 47 extensions on. Lol.
Great video and instruction, .
I was going through the service with you, brought back great memories.
I could tell you a few short cuts but obviously that's not applicable in a tutorial.
PM me if you want some advice. (Ferrari tech).
Thanks for the comment, could you ping me a message scott@ratarossa.com i'm still planning the 3rd instalment on the 355 service (Cam Belts) and would be great to get your input
Is a half-doughnut being done on the open road at a junction?
open up a ferrari repair shop!!!!
My brother has a 1999 355 F1 Berlinetta in Giallo. His manifolds have cracked which seems to be typical (incidentally I swear this only happened after a well know specialist had the engine out for a cambelt....).
Have you changed your own belt on this? I saw your 360 video (ours was cheap to do at the same specialist) but the 355 is an engine out job.
Have you changed your manifolds?
With all this maintenance/projects, still can't believe you haven't bought a scissor lift as a minimum. Would give you more space to film and a heck of alot safer.
Is the gear oil LSD friendly? I guess you have used it before without LSD issues?? Great guide, shows how easy exotica can be to service ... cam belt swap aside. Nice one Scott!
Yes used it before for years all good
Use an oil vac on the dry sump tank much less mess cheers
I need to get one
Have you used an suction oil pump for oil removal for a Ferrari? I use one on my bmw and it save so much time and gets all the oil out, and best bit is no oil spills
i will try that
After the initial terror from the snapping sound, the joy of not breaking anything makes me feel Alive!
He remeber me Dan, Normal Guy Super Car when the same happens haha
Scott - this may seem a simple question and apologies if you've covered somewhere else, but where do you place the jack to get the car in the air? With the jack stands on the side jacking points, I'm assuming you're raising and lowering by placing the jack on a central point?
i use the solid part of the rear subframe with a block underneath
Wish I had a neighbor like you.
my neighbour seriously disagrees with you
the cheapest F355 in the US is $61,900 which is 49,268 pounds.
it would be neat to have an old ferrari but that is the price of a new jaguar F-type.
Good job! If only you could also do the belts on this car...
video coming tonight
I can't remember if you mentioned how long the fluids have been in the car- in regards to the trans, do Ferrari guys use Redline, and can you leave it in longer than other oils? It's expensive, but I've found that shifting was always improved, especially when cold.
Yes I used the Redline in the 308 trans and its really good. I would have tried it on the 355 but couldn't get it in time.
Fortunately I have a couple of ramps and it's a lot easier on a single or twin poster
I believe "olio cambio" in this context is gearbox oil...
could totally be right ...my Italian is not great. As long as its the correct drain plug for the Gearbox I'm OK !!
@@Ratarossa olio cambio is gearbox oil im portuguese but its easy to understand italian :)
Means here change oil.
Need a garage update
Will this apply on my 2015 Golf?
same but slightly cheaper
I'd love to see a vid on the testarossa
its coming
@@Ratarossa can't wait!
Love the content. Are you not worried that you are de-valuing the car by servicing it yourself and not having a stamp in the book ?
No generally if you have keep all the service item receipts and pictures during the service, put them all in a big a4 folder and buyer love this history.
You actually need to use jack stands at all 4 corners to ensure the vehicle is level to get all of the engine oil and gearbox oil out properly.
hence I dropped it flat for the last bit ?
the way that sump drain plug was made and its position made it almost inevitable that that would happen. i suppose it could have been done with less mess, but i'm not sure how you could get that plug out of there fast enough to avoid a fair amount of spillage.
BTW, that looked awfully tight for an oil filter, notwithstanding ferrari's recommendation.
When you said £205 for a competitively priced I thought it would include the fluids!!
The better technique is to push the drain bolt into the thread while unthreading then tilting the bolt once fully unthreaded to control the drain of the oil.
8:09...better to remove oil cap after the drain bolt. :-)
you can use a torch to reanneal the crush washers in an emergency
Ive heard that but never tried it
@@Ratarossa It does work...I have tried it, but only when i needed one now and did not have a new one handy.
Olio cambio means Gear Oil. Cambio olio means Oil change :)
I notice this is part 1, is the spark plugs, air filter, coolant etc in part 2?
Yes the plan is Part 1 oils. Parts 2: plugs filter, brakes, coolant etc. And Part 3 will be Belts. I have to break it down otherwise it will be 2 hours long. this way its much more easy to follow and find, its the way I did the 360 Series. Do you agree ?
Hi ratarossa, yes I understand now, makes sense! Really enjoy your videos!
There is no mystery on Ferrari 348/355 annual maintenance. The 5-year, however is a bit trickier. ;) Everyone seems to have different intervals they use depending on annual mileage. Most people I know do it themselves and we have quite a nice group locally that pass on the knowledge or help out. Taking the mystery out of this process helps encourage ownership and interest in these cars, so keep it up!
Thanks Vince thats the idea, trying to help take the mystery and expense out of these Ferrari's
Call me a child, but that plate makes me chuckle every time...”GUF” 🤭 (another word for fart for anyone not getting it lol)
Yes it bothers me .... i need a private plate. Do you think wen I registered the Ferrari here in the UK the DVLA person thought "Ill get him for having a Ferrari with this GUF plate"
@@Ratarossa mate check out eBay item 292472823267 LOL
@@PixelVogue I saw that , tempting to go with the 360 plate
@@Ratarossa you got a 360 coming? Hot damn! 🤣
Ratarossa - lol I can only imagine the look on your face when you opened that dvla letter...fuming. Lovely car though 👌
Is there an oil leak? Looks wet from some oil on the bottom.
that was me dropping stuff in there before and not cleaning properly .... my bad
36.8ft lb for the 12mm Allen not 38.8 👍 don’t want to come across a nob, just thought you would want the accuracy @ 11:22
Maybe its + or - 2 ft/lb
CJC well I just doubled the value he said before as that was 25nm...
I would love an F355, the engine out cambelt scares me, ever DIY'd one?
Pretty sure he says you can do it by removing the fuel tank and then the engine doesn't need to come out. 👏👏👍🏼
its going to be Part 3 of the 355 service video Jason ...watch this space
@@Ratarossa can't wait, may finally make me buy a silly Italian vehicle lol
Leave the socket in the drain plug and turn the socket by hand, save burning hands with hot oil...
😂 if you left the fill cap on that wouldn’t have been such a gusher
it was my fault, trying to film, talk and do everything one handed is not recommended.
Do you have a regular job or a business
stupid mundane question..I think everyone would prefer to do their own servicing but how do you get on with the service log? If I were ever to buy a performance car (unlikely) I'd want to check the service record. How do you record DIY servicing?
I keep an A4 binder with all the receipts, take pictures and document what’s been done. Never had a problem, most buyers love to see that
@@Ratarossa cool...I've just always gone to the log book but yeah I guess if you keep all the evidence then that should give someone piece of mind.Ironically a DIY-er probably takes more care over a service than a dealer does !
@@PompeyMatt17 true matt
8:00 - and THAT'S the reason I don't drive the car before changing the oil. My face is worth more than "getting all the little bits out".
Re you doing your own servicing.. Will it devalue the car in the future not having work done by a recognised Ferrari garage.. Not everyone knows your undoubted abilities.
Your tidiest motor-its a minter. Tell us its story...
You need a bigger garage with a lift, or at least a pit in there.
Don't we all. I would love a lift in my single garage but have to use jack stands too
Your car has no tax or Mot pal and you’ve taken it on the road .
chris wilmott this was filmed a long time ago way before lockdown
All good pal . Just letting you know as these things can slip ya mind . Keep up the good work 👍
@@cmwilmott cheers chris, you are right mate its much a harder keeping track of these things nowadays without a tax disc in the screen and mot reminder.
I look after a big fleet at work and use an app called CarTaxCheck . Does the job and sends reminders .👍
England sounds dystopian with all of the taxes, etc.
Please buy a lamborghini Jalpa next!
nice car !!
yoou dont need a torque wrench for a oil pan plug
@Coni Glione no you dont
Love the videos but never use a jack as safety. they tend to drop over time due to lacking pressure.. allways use a jackstand :)
the jack was a total added bonus overkill, its not actually required but i place it there as an extra
Good vid. Yes we know it's a 355.
Looks incredibly tidy underneath that car! Whilst you clearly possess the skills to self maintain this car and likely do so with more care than a tech who’s on the clock, does it not bother you the impact it has on the provenance of the car and therefore it’s value?
generally if you keep all the parts receipts and take pictures place them all in a history file with the car thats worth its weight in gold. Yes it will never be the same as a FULL dealer history but then its the difference between a $1k and $10k service
Ratarossa my attitude and approach is similar for most repairs and upgrades, and I very much enjoy doing the work. I still make sure to have annual service work done by a recognised outfit, to bolster the file for the sake of value.
I’ve fancied a 355 for a long time, but the stories of incredibly high maintenance bills have put me off. Your vids are making the itch return! Is this one a keeper for you?
Is really best time to buy ferrai?
ppl sell their ferrari cheap cuz of disaster?
Internet shopping time!!!
Tell us
There are certainly some cheaper cars out at the moment.
Wait six months.
Where did you manage to buy 10lts of Shell engine oil for £52?..
Euro car parts have a discount deal pretty much all the time. You’ll find it there
Buy a Porsche 993!
Please stop using shell.... just makes the car noisy
