How to change the oil on a Maserati GranTurismo yourself.

Model: Maserati Granturismo MK 1 - Years 2007-2020
Part: Engine oil

On your Maserati GranTurismo, the oil change begins by securing the car on a flat surface, with the parking brake engaged and proper supports in place: the undercarriage should only be accessed with correctly positioned jack stands. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool sufficiently to avoid burns, as the oil can come out very hot. Before draining, prepare a large container and protect the work area; if there is a lower splash guard, remove it to access the oil pan and service points. With the collection container ready, unscrew the drain plug and let the oil drain completely. During this phase, it is advisable to check the condition of the drain plug seal and replace it if required by the replacement part. Once the draining is complete, close the plug, following the manufacturer's specifications for tightening and sealing components, without overtightening. Next, move on to the oil filter. After unscrewing the filter or opening its housing, clean the mating surface thoroughly and ensure that no old gaskets remain in place. Prepare the replacement by lightly lubricating the gasket with a thin film of clean oil and install the new filter, tightening it according to the specifications of the filter manufacturer or the manual. Once the "under" part is completed, reattach any lower protections that were removed. From the engine compartment, refill with new oil using the correct specification. After the first top-up, start the engine for a few seconds and then turn it off, allowing the circuit to fill and the filter to pressurize, then wait a few minutes and check the level, gradually adjusting it until it reaches the correct value.
