Ferrari 296 Speciale Engine Oil Specs

The Ferrari 296 Speciale was produced from 2026 to 2026. This model typically uses 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil — a specification common to most Ferrari 296-series vehicles.

Selecting the correct oil viscosity for your Ferrari 296 Speciale is essential. Using a grade that is too thin reduces protection at operating temperature, while too thick an oil impairs cold-start flow and reduces fuel economy. Always match the exact grade shown for your specific model year.

The recommended oil change interval for the Ferrari 296 Speciale is every 10,000 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions — track use, towing, or frequent cold starts — shorten this interval by 25–30%.

When servicing your Ferrari 296 Speciale, always replace the oil filter at every oil change. Using a quality filter — such as Fram, Mobil 1, or OEM equivalent filters — ensures clean oil circulation through the engine block.

Oil change costs for the Ferrari 296 Speciale at a US dealership or local service center typically range from $60 to $110 for a standard synthetic blend or full synthetic service. DIY oil changes cost approximately $30–$65 in parts (oil + filter) and take about 30 minutes with the right tools.

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specification for your specific trim and engine variant, as some Ferrari 296 Speciale configurations may have different requirements.
