Launch X-431 PROS Mini - amzn.to/2Qe26fD
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.

Still watching this after all these years. This video inspired me to do my own service. I always had hard time lifting the car since Quick Jack would always hit my rear wheels. I see quick jack was hitting your front wheels too.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it's a tight squeeze

[@richardlee7595]

Just followed Dan’s steps and changed my oil today with the Ricambi kit. Super easy! Thanks Dan and Ricambi!!

[@normalguysupercar]

You're most welcome Richard! Great success!

[@tempt8]

Love your videos mate. I’ve just bought a 458 and your videos have taught me a fair bit. Thank you from the UK 😊

[@normalguysupercar]

You're welcome

[@devnull128]

You need a 4 post lift bud. Life changing experience!!!!

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm content with my quick jacks

[@devnull128]

Javier Hernandez - mixing a 9 foot ceiling with a short guy and shorter car makes it work pretty good (I had that setup in the last house). Certainly the higher ceiling is better, but this can work if your not sticking an F250 up there!

[@devnull128]

Javier Hernandez - that’s the 2 post lift that has the higher posts bud. My 4 post has 7.5 foot posts. Really nice setup for about $2k! Thing even has rollers and can be moved around...

@@devnull128 really 7.5ft, 2k, and can be moved? I thought they were more expensive, that's pretty feasible. What's the max weight of yours.

[@devnull128]

Javier Hernandez - I have an 8,500lb setup. Have had it for many years (bought it when I had my first C5 Z06 and needed a clutch). Was cheaper than the clutch! Paid for itself 100 times over. Can’t recommend these things enough dude!

[@F-Man]

I love how you’re not scared to wrench on a Ferrari! After all - a car is a car. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes! It's a fairly simple car too.

[@caprirsr3575]

Dan, there's a thread on FerrariChat by AZLambo, from Oct 2015 called, "DIY oil change made easy " Basically, since all three drains plugs drain straight down, he modified the plastic under-tray to create 3 drain holes and removable rubber plugs. Since you're no longer in warranty, might make an interesting future video doing that mod, since this way is such a PITA.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I saw that. May look into it

[@AZLambo]

David Grant , AZLambo here! Yep, by hole-sawing out the three, 3” holes in the undertray, and putting in the three 3” rubber “plugs”, changing the oil on my 458 is a piece of cake! No undertray panels to remove!

[@gamawkolous4662]

Hey Daniel, haven't been here in a while. I just wanted to congratulate you on your 458! Your F430 was beautiful, but your 458 is out of this world! Enjoy her!!!

Thank you for the video. Great video quality! Hello from California, the dealer wants $1800 for oil change an some other minor items, check this etc. Ouch!

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!

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol yup! 20 minutes vs 1.5 hours.

[@ricvanwinkle1665]

Excellent telling how to EXACTLY explain how to check the oil as many cars are totaling different. That the way to save you $$$$ as overfilling is just as bad as under filled. Great video Best part of owning a supercar is wrenching your own. 🎉🎉

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes indeed

[@ryanparkinson7733]

This is the video we all have been waiting for since you bought the 458! Next time, you may want to lubricate the o-ring with fresh oil (Standard procedure for similar oil canister on Gallardos). I am not sure if the o-ring requires lubricant for the 458 (Perhaps it’s a special Ferrari taxable compound), but I would put oil on the o-ring and be careful not to over tighten the canister (oil on the canister to engine interface increases joint axial preload when applying a given torque). Apologies for my nerdiness, another awesome video Dan!

[@normalguysupercar]

Ah yeah good tip

[@ryanparkinson7733]

Normal Guy Supercar That’s what she said.

[@leonardolosoya7689]

hold your oil container up to the bolt before you unscrew it all the way. reduces splash and it'll go straight in, once it flows put on ground, easy day. nice vids!

[@richardlee7595]

Just completed oil change #2 using this video. Thx Daniel!

[@normalguysupercar]

Hooray!

[@DawgboneJohnson]

Just a FYI. You might want to change the oil filter first to allow the old oil to drain from the Oil Filter housing back into the system. The filter housing is designed to hold oil in it for startup. Great Channel!

[@normalguysupercar]

Ok thanks for the tip

[@lkstaack74]

I assume that you lubricated the o-ring before installation to prevent it from binding on the housing. Also, it's more friendly to the motor to add a little oil in the housing before buttoning it up.

[@JP-yp2yw]

Cool video! I saw one on a Bugati oil change...it had 8 or 9 drain plugs!! It makes me appreciate my lowly Honda Accord..lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol right? So much easier

[@Mildlyinconvenienced]

Glad i learned how to change the oil on one of these! Now I just need to get a ferrari so i can do it

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@tedsouter]

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...

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah. That may help.

[@Rtrreefcc]

Dan the man!! Love these type of videos! Congratulations once again on the new Ferrari!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@andresmedina7670]

I think it's pretty cool that you are not afraid to do maintenance on your Ferrari. My only question is... how does this translate to when you want to sell the car? I was under the impression that these cars have a maintenance blog where maintenance is recorded by the dealership. Having a third-party mechanic or DIYing can depreciate the car's value when it comes to selling it.

[@normalguysupercar]

It's not as much a problem as it used to be. The modern cars don't have the crazy maintenance needs

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Great to see home wrenching on automotive exotica. If I could afford a supercar and I wanted to do my own wrenching, I'd chop the garage roof and fit a lift. The whole installation would pay for itself very quickly with regular use.

[@marcgerges1380]

[@Deltalima1984]

Thank you for the vid! I own a 360CS and looking to add a 458 or maybe a Huracan in the future. So these vids are really helping making the choice. Keep making 458 vids :)

[@normalguysupercar]

You're welcome

[@ricsu3462]

OMG fantastic video Dan! Thanks! looks super easy i can totally do it (underbody doesnt seem fun). It cost me $250 to have my indy mechanic do it and i buy the parts. If I DIY I am guessing I need 4-6 hrs (typical floor jacks) plus $1000 for the scan tool, will break even in 4 oil changes (4 years)

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah not too mention the scan tool can be used for a ton of other things.

[@itsmegriffo]

Awesome to see guys like you that aren’t afraid to tackle work like this. It’s definitely not as easy as a Camry but proof that it’s not impossible! Also: what’s up with the F430? I thought it sold but it’s still there!? Awesome content!

[@JS-ud7ml]

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

[@normalguysupercar]

If you're any bit mechanically inclined, you can easily do this.

[@JamesDIYGarage]

Maserati twin turbo V6 oil change interval is 12K also, but since it's direct injection I change oil every 8K to 9K to reduce the likelihood of excessive carbon buildup on the intake valves. I do my own oil changes so it's cheap enough. I don't know if the 458 is direct injection but if so you may want to consider more frequent oil changes as well.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I'm planning to change it far earlier that 12k.

[@maxnix346]

8K - 9K is too much on a turbo engined car, 5K is maximum in my opinion.

[@JamesDIYGarage]

Love my quick jacks but I had a 2 post lift installed about 6 months ago and damn. The quick jacks are great for outside use when I detail my cars.

[@normalguysupercar]

Someday when I have a bigger garage I'll get a 2 post... but for now I'll survive with what I've got.

[@dylanw890]

Great video! I enjoyed watching it. I have always been a Ferrari guy and would love to own a 458 Italia but seeing as the 458 are the last of the naturally aspirated V-8's they're starting to creep up in value and I may be priced out by the time I save up for one.

[@kamikazekaos]

Quickjack redesign it ...make it pick up the car from its wheels too Have u seen wheel cribs stands useful to have without letting the car down

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah may need to get those

[@mariodesmo]

I use a cardboard shipping box(it was handy), with about the same foot print as my oil pan, to raise and rest the oil pan close to the drain. The oil doesn't blow out like a waterfall all the way to the floor, and it works well. Even with 10 quarts of oil. Just don't drop the oil pan when pulling it out from underneath the car full of oil! lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha yes I've done that many times too

[@danh3008]

Dan when using the quickjacks the locking arms should face outwards. You dont want to stick your arms through the jack to lock it. Just an fyi ;)

[@normalguysupercar]

I know. I had to flip them around since the car was facing backwards

[@danh3008]

@@normalguysupercar cool just making sure you keep them money makers safe. :)

[@dvran]

Is the warranty voided on the engine if you change the oil yourself?

[@maxnix346]

Props for changing your own oil. Surprised filter was not first item off. 3 plugs is a whole lot better than Hurracan's 11. Surprised that expensive computer tool will not allow user to specify OCI.

[@normalguysupercar]

11 is just ridiculous

[@nekochito]

I always admire your patience which I have none lol... never understood why wouldnt you take the other car out and just set the 458 in the middle of the garage?

[@normalguysupercar]

Eh I had plenty of room

[@dimmacommunication]

Time passes , but the 458 is one of the best looking cars / ferraris ever made 👌. Wich wheels do you have ? Also where is the oil spec (viscosity etc ) stated ? I tought the 458 would need like a 10w60 in the summer

[@normalguysupercar]

The service manual specifies 5w-40. I don't know which wheels they are as they are aftermarket.

[@al8161]

Dan, do you leave the filler cap open whilst draining the oil? It seems to work better for me, as oil comes out more evenly and directed as opposed to sometimes when it is erratic and I end up making a mess

[@normalguysupercar]

No it was loose

I unplug the dip stick so it's more restricted than the oil cap but doesn't glug.

What kind of lift would allow you to take off the bottom tray easily? Scissor, two post, four post lift?

[@enginepowered3353]

RJParker any of those since your not lifting it by the frame

[@normalguysupercar]

4 post would be best

I reset my 991 with a LAUNCH X431 Creader 7S ($80) - wonder if that can be used for Ferrari

[@normalguysupercar]

It might be able to. Does it have Ferrari as an option?

[@ericmed]

Just got back in town and plugged the device in - Looks like Ferrari > 458 Italia are options on my unit.

[@phealey68]

Great video Dan. Does the Launch X-431 PROS Mini also connect to a GTC4Lusso? I have a 2012 458 Italia which I need to start doing my own oil changes as my 7 year maintenance plan just expired. I would be willing to spend this amount on the Launch computer if it was also compatible with my GTC4Lusso.

[@normalguysupercar]

It should do the Lusso

[@YOUNGNGRATEFUL]

Title should be... “How to save $900.”

[@terrybuchanan1]

lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Basically true.

[@dimmacommunication]

Yeah but new owners will not be cool with the fact that oil was changed from a private , unless you keep the car for life.

[@normalguysupercar]

@@dimmacommunication I think I proved that to be false with my F430.

[@dimmacommunication]

@@normalguysupercar You sold it to a friend , a dealer wouldn't think the same as a friend. Anyway I've saw that you have a fund ? or I read wrong ?

[@GavinY]

DIY paid for the launch reader and it can be used for all the other cars too

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup! It's pretty impressive.

[@mousetrap134]

You will received a visit from Guino and Gino......with the little violin case...............Doh ! you are getting better at this shame I like the big SPLASH ..............lolll

[@normalguysupercar]

[@robsonrissotrainer]

Thank you for all the info. I'm getting a 488, do you know if is the same way for oil change? Thank you

[@normalguysupercar]

I don't know but it's quite likely similar

[@ttvills]

Liking the funnel!!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@huracandude5459]

Dan did you lowered the 458 yourself?

[@normalguysupercar]

No it was already lowered when I bought it

[@jayb2617]

why do you put the covers on before starting it how do you see if it has a leak

[@normalguysupercar]

Eh it probably won't

[@taelorwatson9822]
