Update to previous post:
The fluid distributor that we used to get Motul oil from has unfortunately gone out of business, and I can no longer run the $225 QP oil change. Due to the fact we're paying almost twice as much for oil now, for the time being an oil service is regular price $310+tax, except when we're running specials.
We try to keep our overhead costs and prices as low as possible for you guys, and will continue to do so.

Hey Scott- Maserati recommends a 15k mile service interval.
That's fine if you're leasing your car, but if you own it I highly recommend an "in-between" oil change as well at the 7,500 mile mark. Even using the various pricey exotic synthetic oils that people put in these cars, after 15,000 miles it generally looks like mud when we change it.
The in-between oil change is just a little extra relatively cheap insurance for engine life.

Excuse me, I made a mistake there. The current Maserati factory service schedule is on a 12,500 mile interval. Functionally, the difference between a 12.5k and 15k oil change is negligible, but for the sake of accuracy, your in-between oil change would be on a 6,250 mile interval.
Sounds good Scott. We'll see you soon.

I likely won't update the forum every time we have a price change on a service, so for interested forum members your best bet is to shoot me an email and let me know you're a ML forum member for pricing.
Our pricing structure relies heavily on how much I'm paying for parts and fluids, and I am constantly searching for better sources to keep my overhead and prices low, so they can (and will) change over time.
That being said, I briefly had no better choice than to purchase grossly over-priced oil and filters from the dealer which is why we bumped the oil change price. I have since found another distributor where I can source parts a semi-reasonable price level.
Still the same OE Maserati parts and filters, still top shelf oil and fluids as always, and we're back down to our normal price of $225 for ML members. That goes for wet sump and dry sump cars, as there is very little difference in the oil change procedure and no difference in cost.

Anybody can change oil. When those guys down the street have a Maserati that needs actual work they send it to us.
