Several Maserati models historically featured Ferrari engines, a testament to the close relationship between the two Italian marques. Notably, models like the Maserati Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio were equipped with Ferrari-designed and built engines. This partnership flourished when Ferrari took a majority stake in Maserati in 1999, leading to the utilization of Ferrari's high-performance engines in Maserati vehicles. However, this partnership concluded in 2020, marking the end of Ferrari engines in new Maserati models. The engines, praised for their performance and distinctive exhaust notes, have been a significant selling point for Maserati cars, blurring the lines between everyday luxury and race-inspired engineering. Moving forward, Maserati has shifted towards developing its own engines and embracing electrification for future models.

Several Maserati models use Ferrari engines. These include: 1. Maserati Quattroporte 2. Maserati GranTurismo 3. Maserati GranCabrio 4. Maserati Ghibli 5. Maserati Levante It's worth noting that as of 2021, Maserati is reportedly planning to phase out Ferrari engines in future models, as the brand intends to focus on developing their own engines.

1. Park your car - Make sure the car is parked on a flat, level surface. For an accurate reading, the engine should be turned off for at least 10 minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan. 2. Open your car's hood - Locate the hood release and pull it. Once you've pulled the release, walk around to the front of your car. Lift up the edge of the hood and look for the hood prop rod, a thin, long metal rod attached to the underside of the hood. Slot this into the hole marked for it on the edge of the engine bay to secure the hood in place. 3. Locate the dipstick - The dipstick is typically a brightly colored loop or hook near the engine. If you can't find it, refer to your car's manual. 4. Remove the dipstick - Once you find it, pull it out slowly and carefully to avoid getting hot oil on your hands or clothes. 5. Wipe off the dipstick - Using a clean rag or paper towel, remove the oil from the end of the dipstick. 6. Reinsert the dipstick - Slowly push the dipstick all the way back in until the top is seated back in the dip tube again. 7. Remove and read the dipstick - Pull it out again and this time look at both sides of the dipstick. You’ll see the oil leaves a light, clear strip between two marked areas. These two areas represent the minimum and maximum oil level. If the oil line is below the minimum level, you will need to add oil. 8. If necessary, add oil - If your oil levels are low, pour a little oil into the funnel, wait a minute for the oil to run down into the engine, then recheck the level. 9. Replace the dipstick - Make sure it is all the way back in its tube to prevent any dirt from getting in. 10. Close the hood - Make sure it is fully closed and latched before driving. Remember to use the oil recommended by your car's manufacturer to ensure the best performance and remember to never overfill your car's oil. Overfilling can cause damage to your engine. Always check the oil when the engine is cold, as hot oil expands and could give a false reading. Always wipe the dipstick clean before taking a reading.
