Depending on the model a Ferrari oil change takes a fair amount of special tools, needs to be done on a lift, and requires new filters plus new copper crush washers and possibly new bronze oil plugs. Parts alone will be around $200-$800 USD.
1) Remove underbody fairings.
2) Remove engine oil plug and drain engine.
3) Remove dry sump oil plug and drain sump.
4) Depending on model, disconnect oil cooler lines and drain oil cooler.
5) Replace oil filter(s).
6) Fill with 10-12 quarts of Ferrari specified oil at $20 to $70 per quart.
7) Replace underbody fairings.
