What oil type for the base model levante? The recommendation is 10w60 and that seems extreme for a base model. I have a Bmw M5 V10 which asked for 10w60 but for levante? Seems odd. I thought 5w40 should be used on this model.

comment?

I would stick with the 10W60. The 8 cylinder model calls for 5W40. I checked with the dealer and they confirmed 10W60 for the 6 cylinder. They had no clue as to why. Regardless of logic I'm using it for fear that other weight would give them the excuse for not honoring warranty work. I order Castrol Edge Supercar from Amazon at $130/case of 12 quarts.

it's pure stupidity to not follow the recommendation on oil weight. You'll almost certainly ruin your engine and then have no recourse with warranty when you ask Maserati for a replacement and wonder why they told you to take a hike.
