The Gallardo is the Lamborghini many owners actually drive, which is exactly why the service schedule matters. This is the first in our model-by-model series, which also covers the Murciélago, Diablo, Aventador, Huracán, Sián and Urus.
There are two Gallardo generations, and the factory cadence is not the same on both. The original 5.0-liter V10 cars, built from 2004 through 2008 (coupe, Spyder and Superleggera), are due for scheduled service every 12,000 km, or about 7,500 miles, or every 12 months, whichever comes first. From the LP560-4 onward, including the LP550-2 and LP570-4, the 5.2-liter cars move to 15,000 km, or about 9,300 miles, or 12 months. On 2004 cars, Lamborghini also specified a first complimentary service, Coupon A, at 2,500 km, or 1,500 miles. A factory bulletin from October 2004 dropped Coupon A for MY05 and later Gallardos.
A short disclaimer before the table: the 2004–2008 column now comes from the scheduled maintenance plan printed in the factory workshop manual for the original Gallardo, together with Lamborghini's 2004 service bulletins on Coupon A and the MY05 maintenance plan. The LP column still relies on compiled OEM specification tables, and anything we could not confirm in a factory document is marked unverified. Always confirm the schedule against the service-check book that belongs to your car. We carry the original Gallardo warranty and maintenance booklets and owner's manuals if yours is missing.
Figures are “whichever comes first” when both distance and time are listed. Mile figures are rounded conversions.
| Service item | 2004–2008 5.0 V10 | 2009–2014 LP550 / LP560 / LP570 | What's needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| First service (Coupon A) | MY04: 2,500 km / 1,500 miles. Lamborghini eliminated Coupon A for MY05 and later cars (bulletin of October 2004) | Confirm in your booklet | On MY04 cars the 2,500 km service replaces the engine oil and filter and the gearbox and front differential oil, and checks the belt, brakes, battery, cooling system and fault data |
| Engine oil and oil filter | 12,000 km / 7,500 miles, at least once a year, plus Coupon A on MY04 cars. The workshop manual lists 10 liters of Agip Sint 2000 5W-40 for standard use (10 kg to replace with the filter) | 15,000 km / about 9,300 miles or 12 months. About 8.3 liters service fill | Factory-spec oil, with a new filter every time. Early: 07L115561C or the 2004–2008 filter kit (0R1400127). LP: 079198405E or Service Kit 1 (0R1400313) |

Brake and clutch fluid are changed together | Check every 15,000 km; change every 30,000 km / about 18,600 miles or 24 months | ATE Typ 200 through VIN 6793; Hydraulan 404 (PN 900000160) from VIN 6794. The two fluids are compatible |
| Coolant (about 21 liters) | Check at 12,000 km, replace at 24,000 km / 15,000 miles, then inspect and replace every 24,000 km. Agip Ecopermanent, 21 liters | Check every 15,000 km. Factory change interval unverified | Coolant to the specification in your booklet. Confirm the LP change interval there |
| Transaxle / gearbox oil, manual or E-gear (about 4 liters) | Replace at 2,500 km and every 24,000 km / 15,000 miles; check at the services in between. Agip Rotra LSX 75W-50, 4 liters with the rear differential | Check every 15,000 km; change every 45,000 km / about 28,000 miles or 36 months | This is gearbox oil, not E-gear hydraulic fluid. The early plan also inspects and cleans the gearbox oil filter at 2,500 km and every 24,000 km: gearbox oil filter 086301517 |
| Front differential (AWD only; not LP550-2) | Replaced with the gearbox oil: at 2,500 km and every 24,000 km / 15,000 miles (1.3 liters, Agip Rotra LSX 75W-50) | Check every 15,000 km; change every 45,000 km / about 28,000 miles or 36 months (about 1.4 liters) | Front differential oil to the specification in your booklet |
| Power steering (and optional front lift) | Inspect at 2,500 km and every 24,000 km. The early plan prints no replacement interval. Agip ATF II E, 2 liters | Check every 15,000 km. Change interval unverified. Lift system is a separate 0.3-liter circuit | Fluid to the specification in your booklet. Lift systems: Tutela CS Speed (900000170) |
| Engine air filters (two) | Replace every 48,000 km / 30,000 miles. Recommended at 24,000 km on cars driven on dusty roads or in heavy traffic | Inspect at each service. Replacement interval unverified | Early: 07L133843. LP: 420133844D. Included in the factory filter kits |

The workshop manual specifies Champion QC59YC-ST, tightened to 18 Nm | Factory interval unverified | Early: 400905619, bundled in kit 0R1400129. LP: 06H905601A, bundled with filters and the alternator belt in Service Kit 2 (0R1400314) |
| Fuel filters | Replace at 48,000 km, 84,000 km and 120,000 km (30,000, 52,500 and 75,000 miles) | Factory interval unverified | Early cars often use two filters, such as 400201511A. LP: 4F0201511E |

| E-gear hydraulic fluid | Separate from gearbox oil. Check and top up at 2,500 km and every 24,000 km. The plan prints no replacement interval, and the fluids table lists Tutela CS Speed as top-up only | Separate from gearbox oil. Factory interval unverified | Confirm in your booklet. This circuit is not covered by a transaxle oil change |
| Clutch | Wear check at every service. Replace when the diagnostic tool reads disc wear above 5.6 mm (factory bulletin, December 2004) | No fixed replacement mileage found; inspect at service | Life varies with driving style, especially low-speed work and reversing on hills with E-gear |
| Timing chain / variator | The V10 uses a timing chain. The early factory plan has no timing replacement item | Same | Inspect as your booklet specifies; this is not a timing-belt engine |
| Brake pads | Inspect at each service; replace by wear | Inspect at each service; replace by wear | Front Brembo set 420698151F or earlier kit 400698151, as cataloged for your year |
| Battery | Check connections and charge at every service. No replacement interval in the plan | No factory replacement interval found | Cars that sit should be kept on a maintainer. Confirm the correct battery for your year |
Time still counts when the odometer does not. Many Gallardos cover only a few thousand miles a year, but oil, brake fluid and other hygroscopic fluids age in the car just as they do on the road. If you are choosing between “I'm not due on miles yet” and the 12-month mark, follow the calendar.
The gearbox-oil schedule above applies to both the gated manual and E-gear, because they share a transaxle. E-gear adds a separate hydraulic system and a clutch that can wear faster in stop-and-go use. Have the clutch condition checked at service. Rear-drive LP550-2 cars have no front differential to service; AWD cars do.
Check the engine oil regularly between services. These V10s can use oil in normal driving, and a low-mile car that sits still needs a look before the next trip. For a broader walk-through of filters, brakes, clutches, plugs and fuel pumps, see our routine maintenance guide.
Please confirm every interval against your own maintenance booklet before you book the work. If we can look up a part or a booklet for your VIN, we are happy to help.
