Rolling Thunder Report post Posted April 15, 2012 Looking to join the club, and considering an '08 Gallardo Spyder with about 7k miles. Would like to know what is the recommended maintenance schedule (and what is recommended at each interval) to verify all service has been done in the past and to know what should be coming up soon. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo50Mike Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Oil every 5k or so...Front and rear diff every 10-12k...Spark plugs at about 20k (but probably not even needed)....Just drive the car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted April 16, 2012 ^^ agree with above. add brake fluid change every year or two. front diff can extend to every 20-30k miles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swif Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Oil every 5k or so...Front and rear diff every 10-12k...Spark plugs at about 20k (but probably not even needed)....Just drive the car! Trans and diff oil at 10-12k will lead to early failures. I know that the owners manul states around this milage, but I have seen too many cars gor to 7k and the fuild is burt. If the car has large wheels make sure you do not have any noise coming from the diff or the trans. I would recommend changing gear oil when you change engine oil. Better to be safe. Plugs I would recommend at 15k. Change fuel filter at that time as well with the cabin filter, coolent, brake fluid flush, clutch fuild and power steering.

Rolling Thunder Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks. Had to trade in my 2009 Snakeskin Green Viper so a little bittersweet, but I am loving the Lambo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiNzz Report post Posted April 19, 2012 I have a perma-boner for black lambos (or black cars in general). Verda Ithaca is stunning though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
