Additional Notes

  • Across the Alfa Romeo 155 lineup, the transaxle manual transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters for all configurations except one. A transaxle layout combines the transmission and final drive into a single housing, and the 2-liter fill volume reflects that integrated unit rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The 155 Q4 2.0 Turbo (1992-1997) carries a 4-liter fluid capacity, double that of every other variant in the range. The Q4 specification note lists "transaxle, manual/transferbox," meaning the capacity covers both the transaxle and the transfer box associated with the four-wheel-drive system.
  • The majority of 155 variants share a service schedule of a fluid check at 40,000 km and a full change at 120,000 km under normal use conditions. This applies to the 1.7 Twin Spark, 1.8 Twin Spark, 2.0 T.Spark 16V, 2.0 TD, 2.0 Twin Spark, 2.5 TD, 2.5 V6, and Q4 2.0 Turbo.
  • The 155 1.6 T.Spark 16V (1996-1997) and the 155 1.8 T.Spark 16V (1996-1997) follow a different service structure. Rather than a kilometer-based change interval, both specify only a check at 80,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, with no separate fluid change interval listed.
  • The time-based component of 48 months in the T.Spark 16V check interval introduces a calendar limit alongside the distance threshold. For vehicles covering low annual mileage, the 48-month mark would trigger the service before the 80,000 km distance is reached.
  • The 155 2.0 Twin Spark covers model years 1992-1995, while the 2.0 T.Spark 16V covers 1995-1997. Both share the same 2-liter capacity and the 40,000 km check with 120,000 km change schedule under normal conditions, despite representing different engine generations within the same displacement class.
  • The two diesel variants, the 2.0 TD (1993-1997) and the 2.5 TD (1993-1997), share identical transaxle fluid specifications with each other and with the petrol variants on the standard 40,000/120,000 km schedule. Both carry the 2-liter capacity figure.
