Additional Notes
- The Alfa Romeo Alfa 6, 119 (EU) cooling system capacity holds at 13 liters across the 2.0 (1983-1987), 2.5 (1979-1983), and 2.5 Iniezione Quadrifoglio Oro (1983-1987) variants, a figure consistent with a full system service fill rather than a partial top-up volume.
- The 2.5 Turbodiesel (1983-1987) carries a notably lower cooling system capacity of 10 liters, three liters less than the petrol variants listed in the same model range.
- A 13-liter cooling system fill is a relatively large volume for a passenger car of the era, reflecting the demands of the 2.5-liter V6 engine architecture used in the petrol configurations.
- All four configurations share an identical service interval of 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, meaning both mileage and time act as independent triggers for a coolant change.
- The 24-month time limit on the coolant change interval reflects the chemical degradation of antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors over time, independent of how many kilometers have been accumulated.
- The 2.5 (1979-1983) and the 2.5 Iniezione Quadrifoglio Oro (1983-1987) represent successive generations of the same displacement engine, yet both share the identical 13-liter capacity and 40,000 km/24-month interval, indicating no cooling system revision between those two variants.
