Guys,
As many of you probably know, I am new to the ferrari life and have invested over £50K in a F355 spider! Today I had a shock though and am now very worried! I have done a total of 2000 miles since I have had my car, I took it back to the gatage after about 750 miles and they said oil levels were good and did a few minor repairs. Today I have checked the oil again after obviously 1250 miles. It was just under the minimum. Now I have to admit I have opened her up a lot more than I had been due to knowing what she does and the buitliful noise she makes through her de-catted lungs and Tubi Syle X-box. I must say I have never pushed her past 8 on the gadge and do not coinsider anything I have done to be ragging her!
Is 2 litres of oil normal though...? I only get a slight bit of condensation on start up with no blue smoke and earlier I even got my girlfriend to blip the through throttle whilst I watched, she took it to 5K and no sign of a blue puff. Is this normal? There are also no leaks whatsoever with the car sat in a gartage at least 5 days in ia row.
Whats the score guys? Oh and also before buying it I had a compression test which came out and 92 per cylinder from 1-7 and 91 on 8.
Im I worring needlessly or is it about to meet its maker?
I await your feedback with just about every bone that can be crossed!
Regards
Chris
