Maserati GranTurismo 2024 Fuel Requirements User Manual

Introduction

The Maserati GranTurismo 2024 is a high-end sports automobile renowned for its sophisticated styling and potent performance. I may not be able to provide you particular information about the 2024 model because my training only lasts until September 2021, but I can give you broad knowledge about the fuel needs of sports cars like the GranTurismo.

Sports cars are often built to produce exceptional performance, and to do so, they need high-quality fuel. Given its great performance, the GranTurismo probably needs premium unleaded fuel with an octane value of 91 or above. For the most precise and recent information regarding the fuel needs of the GranTurismo 2024 model, see to the owner’s manual or get in touch with Maserati directly.

Utilizing the proper gasoline reduces the possibility of engine knock or damage and helps to guarantee that the engine runs well. Additionally, keeping the GranTurismo running smoothly and operating at its optimum requires adhering to basic maintenance guidelines, which include routine oil changes and tune-ups.

Fuel Requirements

Requirements of Gasoline
The engines are designed to meet all environmental regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 95.
For vehicle top performance, use unleaded gasoline with no less than 98 minimum octane rating. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However, continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage, and immediate service is required. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before considering service for the vehicle at the Service Network. Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the World Wide Fuel Charter, WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance, and durability for your vehicle. Maserati recommends the use of gasoline that meets the WWFC specifications if they are available. Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating, gasoline that contain detergents, anti-corrosion and stability additives are recommended. Using gasoline that have these additives may help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.

CAUTION!

• Maserati strongly recommends the use of unleaded fuel ONLY. Use of lesser grade fuel will lead to reduced engine performance, and poor fuel economy and can lead to the Malfunction Indicator Light illuminating on the instrument cluster. Continued use of lesser grade fuel can lead to engine misfire problems and possible catalytic converter damage. The anti-pollution devices of the vehicle require unleaded fuel to be used at all times. Under no circumstance, not even in an emergency, should leaded fuel be supplied to the fuel tank, not even a minimum quantity. This would irreparably damage the catalytic converters. An inefficient catalytic converter results in noxious exhaust emissions which damage the environment.

Gasoline Containing Alcohol & Ethers(Oxygenated Fuels)
Some fuels in some geographical areas, contain “oxygenates” which are usually alcohols or ethers. The fuel station service pumps with oxygenated fuels must be clearly marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. Please be aware that in some geographic areas fuel stations may have fuelling pumps that are unmarked. If you are not sure if the fuel you will be dispensing into your vehicle contains alcohol or ethers, ask the fuel service station operator or change station.

CAUTION!
The use of detergent gasoline is effective in minimising fuel injector and intake valve deposits. The use of external fuel injector cleaning systems/fluids is NOT recommended. Some geographic areas, require the use of “oxygenated” fuels to meet seasonal air quality standards.

• Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing ONLY up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used (ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or “Gasohol”.
  Ethers – MTBE: Fuel containing ONLY up to 15% MTBE may be used. Do not use any gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and DO NOT use lead additives.

MMT in Gasoline
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl) is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Maserati recommends that gasoline without MMT to be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask the gasoline station operator whether or not the gasoline contains MMT.
