Additional Notes

  • The Alfa Romeo Spider 115 manual transmission fluid capacity is 1.85 liters across all listed configurations, spanning the 1.6, 2.0, and 2.0 Quadrifoglio Verde variants from 1983-1993. A consistent capacity across all variants points to a shared gearbox unit regardless of engine displacement or trim level.
  • The 1.85-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul or bench rebuild, which would typically account for additional fluid retained in passages and components.
  • All six configurations share an identical service schedule under normal use conditions: a fluid level check every 20,000 km and a full fluid change every 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. The time-based interval of 24 months means a change is due even if the distance threshold has not been reached.
  • The check interval of 20,000 km falls at the midpoint between change intervals, allowing for fluid level verification and early detection of leaks or consumption before the next scheduled drain.
  • The 1983-1989 and 1990-1993 production splits across the 1.6, 2.0, and 2.0 Quadrifoglio Verde trims carry no difference in fluid capacity or service intervals, indicating the gearbox specifications remained unchanged across the generational boundary within the 115 series.
  • The Quadrifoglio Verde trim, a higher-specification variant of the 2.0, shares the same 1.85-liter capacity and 40,000 km/24-month change interval as the standard 2.0, with no deviation in manual transmission service requirements despite the trim distinction.
