Spilling oil on an engine isn't ideal but not catastrophic. When oil lands on engine parts, especially if hot, it can smoke and produce a burning smell, raising concerns of a fire hazard. However, real damage is unlikely from external spillage. It's vital to clean it up to avoid smoke and potential fire risk. Use an absorbent (like kitty litter or a dedicated product) and a rag to clean the area. If oil spills into sensitive areas like the air intake or electrical components, there could be operational issues. Regular maintenance and care when topping up or changing oil can prevent such spills. Always ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is stable during maintenance to minimize accidents.
Historically, Maserati has indeed utilized Ferrari engines in several of their models, a partnership that stemmed from when both companies were under the Fiat Group umbrella. This collaboration allowed Maserati to benefit from Ferrari's renowned performance and engineering excellence. Notable examples include the Maserati Quattroporte and GranTurismo models that were equipped with Ferrari-developed V8 engines. However, since Ferrari spun off from FCA (now Stellantis, which Maserati is part of) in 2016, Maserati has announced plans to develop its own engines. The recent models are set to feature engines designed and built by Maserati themselves, marking a new chapter in the company's history of powertrain development.
Yes, some Maserati models used to use Ferrari engines. For instance, the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli models from certain years were equipped with Ferrari engines.
