Additional Notes

  • The Alfa Romeo Spider 115 uses a steering box rather than a rack-and-pinion assembly. A steering box is a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector mechanism that houses its own fluid supply internally, which explains the notably small 0.14-liter capacity across all listed configurations.
  • The 0.14-liter figure represents a service fill volume for the steering box unit. This compact capacity is typical of self-contained steering boxes, where fluid is sealed within the housing rather than circulated through an external reservoir and pump system.
  • All six configurations, spanning the 1.6, 2.0, and 2.0 Quadrifoglio Verde variants across both the 1983-1989 and 1990-1993 model year groups, share an identical 0.14-liter capacity and the same check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • The check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months applies under normal use conditions. The dual-trigger format means whichever threshold is reached first determines when a fluid level inspection is due, regardless of whether the mileage or the time limit is the limiting factor in a given ownership pattern.
  • The Quadrifoglio Verde trim, despite being a higher-specification variant of the 2.0, carries no deviation in steering box capacity or service interval from the standard 2.0 configuration across either model year range.
  • The 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants share the same steering box fluid capacity of 0.14 liters, indicating the steering hardware was not altered between these two engine displacements within the Spider 115 lineup.
