2020 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE oil temperature

the related message of low oil level
displays, or during scheduled services
(see “Scheduled Maintenance Service”
in this section) it is necessary to check
the engine oil level.
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” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil, other
than leak detection dyes. Engine oil
is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehiclecan expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more

vehicle
• Start the vehicle and warm it up until
the temperature stabilizes.
• Turn off the engine, remove the filler
neck cap and wait 5 minutes to allow
the oil to flow into the oil pan.• Remove the 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 a refilling is necessary, adding 0.4
US gallons (1,5 liters ) of oil when the
level is at the bottom of the SAFE
range will result in the level being at
the top of the SAFE range.

NOTE:
•We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures 45 °F
(7 °C) since the driving performance
of summer tires is reduced at low
temperatures. Summer tires may be
permanently damaged at extremely
low temperatures.
•Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance
All wheel trims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes.
Do not use oven cleaner that may
affect and damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.
Bodywork Maintenance
and Care
Protection from Atmospheric
Agents
The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the
atmosphere (marine areas or a damp
climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to
melt ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated)
metal sheets which are highly
resistant to corrosion in the most
exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures withwax products having high protective
power;
• spraying of plastic materials, with a
protective function, in the most
exposed points: underneath the
doors, inside part of the mud guards,
edges, etc.;
• use of ventilated box sections,
coated with protective wax products,
to avoid condensation and trapped
water which could encourage the
formation of internal rust.
Useful Advice to Keep the
Bodywork in Good Condition
Paint
The paintwork does not only have an
aesthetic function but also protects
the underlying metal sheets. In the
event of abrasions or deep scratches,
we recommend to have the necessary
touch-ups made immediately, to avoid
any rust formation. Touch-ups do not
feature particular difficulties, even on
metallic finishes.
For all paint touch-ups, use only
original products indicated on the
plate applied inside the hood.

Engine Oil Identification
Symbol
This symbol means that the oil
has been certified by the
American Petroleum Institute
(API). Maserati only
recommends API Certified engine oils.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
engine oil as the chemicals can
damage your engine. Damage caused
by use of non-approved chemicals is
not covered by the new Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE
Grade)
SAE 5W-40 engine oil is recommended
for all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the
recommended engine oil viscosity for
your engine. For information on
engine oil filler cap location, refer to
chapter “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Lubricants that do not have both the
engine oil certification mark and the
correct SAE viscosity grade number
should not be used.
