Alfa Romeo 75, 162B (EU)

Additional Notes

• All Alfa Romeo 75 variants listed, spanning the 1985-1992 model range, use a transaxle-mounted manual transmission. A transaxle combines the gearbox and final drive into a single housing, a layout Alfa Romeo placed at the rear axle on the 75 to achieve near-equal front-to-rear weight distribution.
• The fluid capacity across every listed variant is 2.85 liters. This figure represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount required when refilling a drained but otherwise intact unit during routine maintenance, rather than a full overhaul fill that would account for additional fluid retained in passages and components during a rebuild.
• The check interval is set at 20,000 km for all variants. At this point the fluid level is inspected without necessarily being replaced, allowing early detection of leaks or contamination before the full change interval is reached.
• The change interval for all listed variants is 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. The inclusion of a time-based limit of 24 months alongside the distance figure means the fluid is renewed even in low-mileage use, where thermal cycling and moisture absorption can degrade the lubricant independently of distance traveled.
• All rows carry a normal use condition designation. The 40,000 km / 24-month change interval applies specifically under normal operating conditions, as opposed to severe-use schedules, which typically involve shorter intervals due to higher thermal and mechanical stress on the fluid.
• The 75 1.8 Turbo (1986-1991) shares the identical 2.85-liter capacity and 40,000 km / 24-month change interval as the naturally aspirated variants, despite the turbocharged engine producing higher drivetrain loads under normal operation.
• The 75 2.5i Quadrifoglio Verde V6 and the 75 3.0 V6 (1986-1991) both retain the same 2.85-liter transaxle capacity as the four-cylinder models. The consistency across four-cylinder and six-cylinder configurations indicates the same transaxle unit was used throughout the 75 range regardless of engine displacement.
• The 75 2.0 TD (1985-1992) is the only diesel variant in the listed specifications. Diesel engines typically generate higher torque at lower engine speeds compared to petrol equivalents of similar displacement, yet the transaxle fluid capacity and service intervals remain identical to all other variants in the range.
