Lamborghini Maintenance: Tips for Long-Lasting Performance | GVE London – Blog

The majority of car enthusiasts dream of the day when they own a Lamborghini, yet not many think about servicing one. It’s hardly the most exciting thing to daydream about, but it’s so essential that the two can’t be separated. Ownership goes hand in hand with maintenance.

So, in this blog post, we’ll share some tips on Lamborghini maintenance to keep it as good as new for years to come.

Opt For Professional Servicing

The hard fact is that not every garage or individual (DIY) can service your Lamborghini. It requires training, the right tools, and skills—paired with in-depth knowledge of the vehicle. If you’re experienced, go right ahead. However, for the majority of individuals, it’s best to seek out a supercar service centre, like GVE London in West London, for repairs and servicing.

Oil Changes

Engines, if you’re not aware, constantly have tiny explosions happening inside them, giving the car the power to move forward. Now, this explosion may be controlled, but the temperature inside rises significantly. Further, the engine is made of metal, and dry metal grinding against itself isn’t ideal, to put it mildly. That’s why engine oil is needed—to keep everything lubricated and running smoothly, no pun intended. Lamborghini suggests an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

Brake Check

Going fast and stopping fast are two things that go hand in hand. If there’s one thing you should compromise on—though we believe you shouldn’t compromise at all—it should be speed. So, check for signs of wear on the brakes, like a spongy brake pedal or squeaking noises. Inspect the brakes at every Lamborghini maintenance session.

Keep It Clean

Sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how often people skip this. Simply washing and waxing your car regularly helps prevent rust and protects the paint from the elements. A dirty Lambo is a horrible sight. So, thoroughly clean both the inside and outside using the right cleaning agents.

Monitor Tyre Health

Tyres, especially if you often visit the track, wear out much faster than you’d expect. Regularly check the tyre pressure, and at every Lamborghini servicing, ensure they’re aligned correctly. If the tread depth seems insufficient, replace them. It’s recommended to replace tyres every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.

Drive It Regularly

Yet another simple but useful tip—just drive your car regularly. Supercars are meant to be driven, not locked away in a garage. However, many owners hesitate, whether to preserve the car’s value or simply waiting for the right day. That said, it’s good to take it out for a spin every so often to keep the engine and other components in good running condition.

If you know you won’t be using your Lamborghini often, consider investing in a trickle charger to maintain the battery.

Transmission and Clutch Maintenance

If you own an older Lamborghini like the Gallardo, the E-Gear clutch is a major concern. These can wear out within 15,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving style. Replacement costs start at £4,000 and can go up to £10,000.

Later models, such as the Huracán, use dual-clutch transmissions, which are more durable but still need fluid changes every 30,000 miles.

Conclusion

Lamborghini maintenance isn’t as overwhelming or intimidating as it may seem initially. All cars, on a fundamental level, are the same. Keep them clean, drive them often, follow a servicing schedule, and address minor issues as soon as they arise so they don’t have the chance to snowball into something bigger. From repairs to servicing to customisation, everything can be done under a single roof. Schedule an appointment with us today!
