Additional Notes

  • Across all four configurations of the Alfa Romeo Alfa 6, the manual transmission fluid capacity is specified as a range of 1.6 to 1.75 liters, which is typical of a service fill figure rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The 0.15-liter spread between the lower and upper capacity values reflects normal variation in fluid level during a standard drain-and-refill service, where residual fluid retained in passages accounts for the difference from a theoretical dry capacity.
  • A 40,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions to the 2.0-liter variant covering 1983-1987, meaning fluid replacement is due at each 40,000 km increment of accumulated mileage in everyday driving circumstances.
  • The same 40,000 km interval under normal use conditions is shared by the 2.5-liter petrol variant from 1979-1983, indicating no differentiation in service frequency between the two engine displacements despite the difference in powerplant.
  • The Alfa 6 2.5 Iniezione Quadrifoglio Oro from 1983-1987 carries an identical 1.6-1.75 liter capacity and 40,000 km change interval under normal use conditions as the other petrol variants, despite representing a higher-specification fuel-injected trim level.
  • Each configuration lists an alternative (acceptable) fluid option alongside the normal specification, both sharing the same 1.6-1.75 liter capacity and 40,000 km change interval, meaning the service schedule remains unchanged regardless of which fluid type is used.
  • The 2.5 Turbodiesel variant from 1983-1987 holds the same manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.6-1.75 liters and the same 40,000 km change interval under normal use conditions as the petrol-engined variants in the lineup.
