The level must be checked with the
vehicle on a fl at surface, following the
procedure below:
- start the vehicle and warm it up
until the temperature stabilises;
- turn off the engine, remove the
fi ller cap A and wait 5 minutes to
allow the oil to fl ow into the sump;
- measure the level and top up if
necessary.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX notches on the dipstick.
The interval between MIN and MAX
corresponds to approximately 1,5
litres (0.3 UK gal) of oil.
WARNING: Do not exceed the MAX
level!
If the oil level is near or even below
the
MIN reference notch, top up with
oil pouring it through the fi ller neck
plugged by cap
A , until reaching
the MAX reference notch. The oil
level should never exceed the MAX
reference notch.
WARNING: Do not top up with oil
whose specifi cations differ from those
of the oil already used in the engine.
After topping up, the engine oil
level warning light
may not go
off for some time while the system is
performing the necessary checks. This
is normal.
After topping up or replacing the oil,
check its level once again.
WARNING: The engine oil used
and the oil fi lter replaced contain
substances that are dangerous for the
environment.
For replacing the oil and the fi lters
you are advised to contact the
Maserati Service Network , where all
the necessary equipment is available
to dispose of the used oil and fi lters
in compliance with the regulations in
force and in an environment-friendly
manner.
