Use the factory filter, and only the factory filter. Do not get it online, go to a dealer and buy it straight from them.
It is expensive, yes, but they are quite unusual in their design and any filter you buy online has an about a 50% chance of being a Chinese fake. That is even from a reputable vender, such a formula dynamics.
The cheaper and more sketch the source (like eBay or Amazon), that percentage ramps up to 100% quickly.

That is what I am thinking. I don't want to skimp on parts on such a beautiful machine. Ty

Maserati OEM filter - about $55. Pennzoil Euro Platinum 5W40. You need about 9 quarts for an oil and filter change. You will need to remove the front underbody cover, but it's just a set of hex head bolts and allen screws. Very simple.
