Maintenance and Care
The best time to check the engine oil
level is after a fully engine warm-up.
The oil temperature, or the water
temperature if the first one is not
provided, must be higher than 176° F
(80° C) at an engine speed of about
2000 ÷ 3000 rpm. The engine must be
kept at idle regime for one minute and
then switched off.
The vehicle should be parked on level
ground to improve the accuracy of the
oil level readings.
CAUTION!
•
Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to "Refillings Table" in this
section).
•
Overfilling or underfilling the
reservoir will cause aeration or loss of
oil pressure. This could damage your
engine.
•
Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
NOTE:
The following procedure must be done
within five minutes of the engine
switch off, otherwise the warm-up
cycle must be repeated.
• Remove the engine oil cap with
integrated dipstick and clean it with
a dry and clean cloth.
• Re-insert the dipstick completely and
remove: the oil level should maintain
between the MIN and MAX reference
ranges (SAFE range).
• If necessary, refill the filler neck
before screwing the cap.
• Return the cap to its position and
wait for a few minutes to allow the
oil to reach the sump.
• Check the level again.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be
replaced with a new filter at every oil
change.
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to perform this service.
Dual Clutch Transmission Oil Check
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for the oil level check.
CAUTION!
The transmission fluid and external
filter should be changed after every
24 hours of track usage. If prompted
by the transmission fluid life monitor
that remaining fluid life is low, the
fluid and external filter should be
changed as soon as possible. Contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer for
these operations.
Fluid Level Check for Transmission
Cooling System
The coolant contained in the reservoir
of this system is equal to the one used
for the cooling system of the engine.
