Oil Filter Replacement Service

How much do you love driving your Maserati vehicle? It’s important to realize that it won’t continue to offer stellar performance without some help from you. Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring that your car remains healthy, and you don’t want to forget about any vital Maserati service tasks. Perhaps the most important concerns are the oil and oil filter. 

The Role of Oil and the Oil Filter

Oil has a crucial job to play in your new Maserati. The engine has several moving parts, and the oil provides lubrication so they can function properly and not create friction by rubbing against one another. The oil – along with the filter – also keeps dirt, debris, and other contaminants from getting into the engine and causing problems. 

When Should the Oil and Filter be Changed?

Depending on the type of oil you use in your car, it can probably be changed every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Regardless of mileage, however, you should change the oil in your pre-owned Maserati about every six months. This helps ensure that everything is running just as it should be. The oil filter generally doesn’t need to be changed as often as the oil; swapping it out every other time you get an oil change is a smart idea. 

Warning Signs You Don’t Want to Ignore

When your Maserati is overdue for an oil and filter change, your car will let you know. For example, there doesn’t seem to be as many horses under the hood as usual, the oil has probably gotten thick and dirty. 

If you have to stop to get gas more often than normal, this is another sign from your car telling you that the engine isn’t running as efficiently as possible and that an oil change is necessary.
