Hello everyone

I am a first time Maserati owner, recently purchased a used 2017 Levante with 35k miles on it. I have been driving German (mainly Porsche) cars for the past 25+ years.

I am planning to get the regular maintenance done. Don't want to start another debate on which oil is better/best, but was wondering if anyone has any experience using Driven dl40 in Levante, or in general other Maserati cars?

Driven DI40 0W-40 Synthetic Direct Injection Performance Motor Oil (drivenracingoil.com)

If not, which oil are you using, and why, and what has been your experience with it so far? I know Pennzoil is recommended.

Thanks,
D

Thank you Mr645 and Jason.

My oil change schedule is every 5k. But new oil may not address LSPI issues.

Driven is used by enthusiasts in VW/Porsche/Audi Turbo Direct Injection engines, EA888 for example, it helps reduce LSPI and soot formation, has good HTHS and low volatility which can result in almost no oil burning and reduction of stretching of timing chain issues.

Since Levante has Direct Ignition Turbo engine, it should help I guess.

I am neither related to, nor work for Driven or any other oil company.
