Having worked on American muscle cars all my life and now purchasing a (new for me) 2005 Gran Sport I am somewhat confused as to how many, and the location of oil drain plugs on this car. My understanding is that there are two drain plugs, I do see the large one in the middle towards the front of the sump (large one with the allen head) but where is the second one located ? I do have the OEM filter and two crush washers needed. Any help is appreciated and pictures are most welcome. Thanks in advance.

If i remember correctly, the first is under the passengers side at the front of the car, while the other is a few "steps" back, in the middle, near the oil filter. But i could be mistaken...

dry-sump engine has a drain for the engine and one for the reservoir right side where oil-dip-stick is located. your best way to access is to remove plastic protection & grill under engine to get orientated.

Here's a link to a really good oil change Power Point presentation done by another Maserati Life member. This should answer your questions.
