Rebuilding a Cat S Maserati Granturismo V8 - changing engine & diff oil - doing the service - Part 5

- Welcome to another video about my project to get my cheap Category S Maserati Granturismo back to full health.
In this video, I do an engine oil change and a differential oil change. I also begin looking at how to install an oil accumulator. My idea behind that is to pre-oil the engine before start and try to prolong the health of the variators (small advance mechanisims for the inlet cams).
She is all road legal now, but these jobs are to ensure she is all serviced. My next tasks in the next video will be finishing the accumulator and then I will be doing a transmission oil change, engine mount change and eventually messing with the exhausts to get a bit more sound.

Another couple of jobs ticked off working on your back so well done.
Ive got two lifts here for my own pleasure and the best money spent but im nearly 62 and done enough years on the floor.
Yes, I have seen old lifts really cheap secondhand, but they would not fit in my garage. Perhaps I should try to raise the roof a bit!
@@woodrimcars2324 2 lifts sir ?? I would love to use one I can pay you for the time .
You very good and helpful sir !! I ordered the gearbox kit from Auto Doc I must say there are not a lot out there who share part numbers! Hope all is ok with you I’m looking forward to your wheel alignment. I would love to come and meet you drive my car make a comparison with your car. Be nice to get out of London! Fantastic videos !!
Happy to help and be useful. I am out near Stonehenge if you get down this way.
Keep up the good work, great video, very interesting 👍
Thanks very much.
Will you be adding information on the oil accumulator? Parts used etc?
@@ChrisNFyes that will be next week as I just ran out of time this week. So I will have pictures etc and part numbers and sockets sizes on that one. Hopefully I can test it too.
That pricy oil filter should be mounted on the dashboard where people can see it. Cheers
Yes, it was considerably more than the filter for the model T…
About 43 Quid/$56 here at my dealership in the U.S.
The reason for undoing the filler plug before draining the oil is to make sure you can refill the diff. Draining the oil first and then failing to undo the filler plug afterwards would be an issue!
That is a good point! Speaking of which I just found I ordered the wrong transmission kit. Now I should be able to return it, but I did open the bag with the filter in it… if I had checked first, I might of avoided that.
A Hand Tight oil Filter is totally fine
Yes I have no idea why they specify 30nm, seems very excessive.

Thanks!
Good work
Thanks very much!
Found it sir on Auto Doc ! Yes your right it says the kit is not compatible. It’s showing the gasket the oils and the filter but no bolts or sump. Price is £163.00. If I buy that kit will it come with bolts do you think? Your extremely helpful sir !! God bless you !!
Yes it does come with bolts. It’s genuine ZF too. As I said, I bought an extra litre of oil, I think I only needed half a litre extra in the end, but inevitably you spill a bit.
Hi everyone, I only take a look at the Oil Accumulator in this one at the end. I ran out of time as my Volvo decided to through a wobbly this week and I had to go fix the rear brakes and wheel bearing.
Hopefully I will complete the oil accumulator and do a proper video on it next week.
Fantastic video again!! I know you have completely done your gearbox oil job I’m struggling to find the parts for some reason. Some kits come with a metal pan which I have on the car. Have you kindly got the part numbers for the complete kit please? The bolts are £11 each and there are 21 of them !
Keep up the fantastic posts !!! Hope you got your alignment done !
I stuck it all in this video: ruclips.net/video/XcegNAiaL0I/видео.html
Gearbox designation is ZF 6HP 26X gearbox
I used lifeguard fluid 6 form ZF
ZF 1068 298 090 is the mechatronic seal kit £32 from Autodoc
ZF 1068 298 061 is the service kit with gasket, oil and filter as well new magnets and screws - £199 from Autodoc. They say it is the wrong kit and try to sell you the plastic sump version. This part number is for the metal sump. I bought another litre of the ZF oil ZF S671 090 255 just in case as changing the mechatronics does require a bit more oil.
There was also a post on here about it:

Ok that’s great! Next weekend I’m free ! Did you get your wheel alignment done?
I have to wait till after MOT time for wheel alignment, so couple of months time is the earliest I can do it. Next weekend I am fitting a door, it will be a nightmare as have to cut concrete blocks out the way. Probably free weekend after.
do you notice any difference when starting from a cold engine since you have the accumulator installed?
Well, I finally started her today - twice. So far no noise and an exceptionally smooth start. Too early to celebrate, but promising. I am just editing the video of that now, so hopefully will post tomorrow. I hope to have her off the jacks this week and back in use, so will no more in a week or so.
