Additional Notes

  • Across all seven engine variants of the Alfa Romeo Spider 916 (EU), the manual transaxle fluid capacity is uniformly 2 liters. A transaxle combines the transmission and final drive into a single housing, and a 2-liter fill volume is consistent with compact rear-mounted transaxle units of this type.
  • The transaxle designation applies to every listed configuration, from the 1.8 16V Twin Spark through to the 3.2 V6 24V. In a transaxle layout, the gearbox and differential share a common fluid sump, which means the 2-liter capacity covers both functions within one unit.
  • Six of the seven variants share an identical service interval of 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means the time limit of 48 months can prompt a fluid check even when the distance threshold has not been reached.
  • The Spider 3.2 V6 24V (2003-2006) carries a check interval of 80,000 km without an accompanying time-based interval. Unlike the other six variants, no 48-month threshold is listed alongside the distance figure for this engine.
  • All service intervals are specified under normal use conditions. In automotive maintenance classifications, normal use typically refers to standard on-road driving without the elevated thermal or mechanical stress associated with severe-duty operation such as towing, track use, or frequent short trips.
  • The 2.0 V6 Turbo (1998-2003) shares the same 2-liter transaxle capacity and 80,000 km / 48-month interval as the naturally aspirated four-cylinder variants. Despite the added thermal load a turbocharged drivetrain can place on surrounding components, the transaxle specification remains unchanged relative to the other engines in the lineup.
  • The 2.0 16V Twin Spark covers the widest production span of any listed variant, running from 1995-2006, and maintains the same 2-liter capacity and 80,000 km / 48-month check interval throughout that entire period without variation.
