HOW TO CHANGE OIL ON MASERATI GHIBLI! Quick and easy way to save hundreds of dollars.

[@JamesDIYGarage]

I highly recommend getting a set of ramps you can shove under the front tires when you jack the car up. It is soooo dangerous to get under the car with only the hydraulic jacks holding it up. Those have been known to fail. The ramps under the front tires will stop the car from falling on you should one of the hydraulic jacks fail. That is what I was doing before I got my Quick Jack.

[@JamesDIYGarage]

Heck even with the safety locks engaged on the quick jack, I never get under the car unless someone else is there with me just in case.

[@DriveTalkCars]

Thanks James! Yeah, I should get the ramps. Although, I did have jack stands under the car. 👍🏽. Ultimately, I’m trying to get the air lift like you! 😬

[@JamesDIYGarage]

@@DriveTalkCars I have a Quick Jack from Bendpak. Its not an airlift. Its hydraulic. Google Quick Jack.

[@DriveTalkCars]

Yeah, better safe than sorry.

[@pookyherrmann6711]

Thank you for posting this video! I like taking my car to a wonderful local shop (rather than the dealership) for small maintenance tasks, and they needed confirmation on the oil and filter type in order to proceed. Note to any newcomers of Maserati/Ferrari ownership: they only release information on schematics to Maserati dealerships, which wrings you into only using them as a maintenance option (this presents a problem if you're on the road and need a new windshield wiper or an oil change because they cannot pull the required parts up in their system. Thank you for including the supply list with the video.

[@DriveTalkCars]

Glad it could help. Yeah, Maserati keeps their stuff on lock!

[@les536]

What about the oil light reset

[@scottmorningstar3326]

The oil change is Not done until the oil change indication (yellow wrench) has been reset. Most vehicles from the mid 2000’s (20 years ago) require this to be completed. Unfortunately a newer OBD scanner is required.

[@thewiseguy7100]

You just answered the question that was driving me nuts. I was planning on changing the oil on my Maserati again and saw online the 5w-40 pennzoil but it didn’t have the Ferrari logo no more and the bottle changed ... I was nervous since the bottle looks different now but since I just saw you confirmed it’s the same one just changed the bottle I’m buying them 🙌

[@DriveTalkCars]

Yeah, I was confused too! I called Maserati service and parts department to confirm if it would work. They confirmed and said the most important thing is that it is 5w-40 platinum euro full synthetic. The formula from the two bottles have the same important values. And if there was a difference it would be very very minor.

Great video man, the only thing I recommend is get yourself some Rhino Ramps, and for more precaution put 2 jack stands underneath each side just in case the ramps fail. That's how I change my oil on any car i've owned. Some people think its overkill to use ramps and the jack stands but I prefer being extra safe underneath the car lol!

[@DriveTalkCars]

Thanks for the comment bro! I actually did use my jack stands (after I realized I didn’t have them under there lol). 👍🏽

[@theodorestacy9878]

Dude! Don't EVER get under a car lifted with only jacks!!! Put some stands or blocks under the frame to keep the car off of you if the jack releases for any reason!! Better yet, use ramps. You got them under there later but yoiu are under the car at the beginning with no stands. Don't do it to save a minute!

Great DIY 👍, how did you accurately measure out the last .3 of oil?

Thanks! I don’t know how accurate it is...but I put in 8 liters initially. Then drove car for a day and topped off to the proper mark on Dipstick. .3 is kind of hard unless I used a measuring device. 😀 thanks again for checking out my channel and leaving comment.

Since the car has an oil dipstick, Why didn’t you use the oil pump suction instead of having to remove all that stuff in the bottom, you can reach the oil filter from on top, I think an oil pump suction would’ve been a lot easier, Harbor Freight Tools has a 9 L one
