Similar to conventional oils. synthetic oils also experience deterioration over time. even when not in use inside engines. While they are specifically formulated to endure extreme conditions and have a longer lifespan. they are less susceptible to chemical breakdown. The quality of synthetic oils can decline due to various factors such as temperature fluctuations and moisture. It is recommended by most manufacturers to change your engine oil including synthetic ones at least once a year. regardless of reaching the recommended maintenance mileage. This is because engine oil absorbs moisture and impurities over time. which can harm engine parts and decrease efficiency. Although synthetic oils have a stable chemical composition. leaving them unused in the engine for extended periods is not advised. To ensure your engine's longevity and well-being. consult your vehicle manual for specific guidelines on how often to change the oil.
When someone says an engine "turns over," it refers to the process where the engine's components, specifically the crankshaft and pistons, move in coordination to start the combustion cycle, but it doesn't necessarily start running. Essentially, it's the mechanical action initiated by the starter motor when you turn the ignition key or press the start button. This action draws power from the battery to rotate the engine's flywheel, moving the internal mechanisms. If an engine turns over but doesn’t start, this indicates that the mechanical parts are functioning to create movement, but the engine is not igniting the fuel-air mixture required to sustain operation. Common reasons can involve issues with the fuel system, spark plugs, or sensor malfunctions. Troubleshooting typically starts with checking these systems to ensure the engine not only turns over but also starts and runs properly.
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. However, as of 2021, Maserati announced that they will start using in-house engines and move away from using Ferrari engines in their newer models.
