For the Maserati Ghibli, the exact oil capacity depends on the engine and model year. In general, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 uses about 7 quarts of oil (including the filter), while the newer 2.0-liter turbo hybrid version uses around 5 quarts. Verify the precise figure in your owner’s manual or on the under-hood information sticker for your specific model and market.
Engine configurations and oil capacities
Below are the main Ghibli engine configurations used in recent years and their approximate oil capacities, including the filter. Capacities can vary by country, model year, and whether a full filter change is performed during service.
- 3.0L twin-turbo V6 — approximately 7 quarts of oil total, including the filter (roughly 6.6–7.0 qt depending on the filter and drain plug setup).
- 2.0L turbo hybrid — approximately 5 quarts of oil total, including the filter (roughly 4.8–5.0 qt in typical service).
In practice, use these figures as starting points, but always confirm with the exact specification for your year and market. The owner's manual or the service label under the hood will reflect the precise capacity for your car.
Oil specifications and maintenance considerations
Oil viscosity and specification
Use a high-quality full-synthetic motor oil that meets Maserati’s specifications for your engine. The recommended viscosity can vary by climate and engine type, and the manual will specify the exact grade (for example, a 5W-40 or similar synthetic oil standard). When in doubt, choose an oil that meets the Maserati/engine manufacturer spec and ACEA/API standards noted in the owner’s manual.
Change intervals and oil level checks
Oil-change intervals are defined by the owner’s manual and can vary with driving conditions and market. Many Ghibli models follow a schedule around 10,000 miles (roughly 16,000 kilometers) or 12 months, whichever comes first, with more frequent changes advised for heavy or track use. Always check the oil level using the vehicle’s information system (and dipstick if available) before long trips or after heavy driving, and top up only with the correct oil type and quantity specified for your engine.
Summary
For most Ghibli models, the oil capacity is about 7 quarts for the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 and about 5 quarts for the newer 2.0L turbo hybrid. Exact figures depend on year, market, and whether the filter is replaced during the service. Always consult the owner’s manual or the under-hood label for your precise specification, and follow Maserati’s guidance on oil type and maintenance intervals to keep the engine running smoothly.
