Additional Notes

  • The Alfa Romeo GTV 916 uses a transaxle layout, meaning the manual gearbox and final drive are combined into a single unit at the rear axle rather than being mounted directly to the engine. The 2-liter fluid capacity across all listed configurations reflects this integrated transaxle design rather than a conventional front-mounted gearbox.
  • A 2-liter capacity is consistent with a service fill level, representing the amount of fluid required during a routine top-up or fluid change with the unit installed in the vehicle. A full overhaul or bench refill would typically require a different procedure to ensure complete drainage and refill.
  • The 1.8 16V Twin Spark, 2.0 16V Twin Spark, 2.0 JTS, 2.0 V6 Turbo, and 3.0 V6 24V variants all share an identical specification of 2 liters capacity with a check interval of 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, regardless of engine displacement or configuration.
  • The 48-month time component in the check interval means that even at low annual mileage, the transaxle fluid condition is due for inspection after four years under normal use conditions. Whichever threshold is reached first would apply in practice.
  • The GTV 3.2 V6 24V, covering 2003-2005, carries the same 2-liter capacity and 80,000 km check interval but does not include the 48-month time-based condition listed for the other variants. The interval for the 3.2 V6 24V is expressed solely in distance.
  • All six configurations are specified under normal use conditions, which in service interval terminology generally refers to standard road driving as opposed to severe or demanding operating environments such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip driving.
  • The 2.0 16V Twin Spark spans the full 1995-2005 range covered by the specifications, while the 1.8 16V Twin Spark entered the lineup later, from 1998, and the 2.0 JTS and 3.2 V6 24V appear only from 2003 onward, reflecting the generational engine changes within the 916 series.
