Alfa Romeo 164, 164 (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Alfa Romeo 164 and 164 (EU) models utilize automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 4,2 to 4,8 liters. Service intervals include checking at 20000 km and changing at 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Alfa Romeo 164 automatic transmission is a transaxle unit, meaning the transmission and final drive are housed together. All configurations across the 1987-1998 model range carry two listed capacity figures: 4.2 liters and 4.8 liters. In transaxle applications, the lower figure typically represents a service or partial drain-and-fill, while the higher figure reflects the total fluid volume of the entire unit, as encountered during an overhaul or dry fill.
  • The 164 3.0 V6 (1987-1989) transaxle automatic specifies a check interval of every 20,000 km and a change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. The time-based limit of 24 months runs alongside the distance interval, meaning fluid age alone can trigger a change even when the mileage threshold has not been reached.
  • The 164 3.0 V6 with catalyst (1990-1992) carries the same dual capacity values of 4.2 and 4.8 liters, along with an identical check interval of 20,000 km and a change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months. The structure of the service schedule for the catalyst variant is therefore consistent with the earlier 1987-1989 V6 specification.
  • The 164 3.0 V6 Super (1992-1998) and 164 3.0 V6 24V Super (1992-1998) both retain the 4.2 and 4.8 liter capacity figures and the 20,000 km check interval. However, the change interval for both of these later variants is listed as 40,000 km without a companion 24-month time limit, distinguishing the service schedule from the earlier 1987-1992 specifications.
  • Across all eight rows, the use condition is listed as normal for every configuration. All capacity and interval values in the specifications are therefore associated exclusively with normal operating conditions.
  • The 164 3.0 V6 Super and 164 3.0 V6 24V Super share the same transaxle automatic capacity and interval specifications for the 1992-1998 period, with both variants listing 4.2 and 4.8 liters alongside a 40,000 km change interval and a 20,000 km check interval.
