Additional Notes

  • The transfer case on the Alfa Romeo 164 3.0 V6 24V Q4 holds 0.35 liter of fluid, a notably small volume consistent with compact transfer box designs found in passenger car-based all-wheel-drive systems.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transfer box fluid change interval is set at 120,000 km, placing routine replacement well into long-term ownership territory rather than frequent service cycles.
  • A separate inspection interval of 40,000 km applies to the transfer box fluid under normal use, meaning the fluid level and condition are to be verified at roughly one-third of the full change interval.
  • The 0.35 liter capacity figure represents a service fill quantity for the transfer box unit, not an overhaul or dry-fill volume, so refilling after a drain would be guided by this same measurement.
  • The Q4 designation on the 164 3.0 V6 24V identifies the all-wheel-drive variant, which is the only configuration within the 1993-1998 164 lineup for which transfer case fluid specifications are present.
