What type of coolant does a Maserati car use?

  • According to the Maserati Quattroporte manual, you should use “Inhibited mono-ethylene glycol-based protective fluid with anti-freezing action: CUNA NC 956-16. Type Shell Glycoshell “

The total capacity is approximately 13 liters or 3.5 US gallons.
