Alpine A310

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

The Alpine A310 manual transmission fluid specifications cover a capacity range of 2 to 3.4-3.7 liters. The data includes two configurations. The fluid type specified is manual transmission fluid for normal use.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
A310 V6, (2700 VA) (1977-1985)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 3,4-3,7 liter
  • Code: 5/1
A310 1600, (1600 VE) (1971-1974)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2 liter
  • Code: 5/1

Additional Notes

  • The Alpine A310 1600 (1971-1974) carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, a relatively modest figure consistent with the smaller drivetrain packaging of a four-cylinder rear-engined layout.
  • The A310 V6 (1977-1985) shows a notably larger transaxle fluid capacity, specified as a range of 3.4 to 3.7 liters under normal use conditions, reflecting the greater internal volume of the transmission unit paired with the 2700 VA engine.
  • The capacity range of 3.4 to 3.7 liters on the V6 transaxle suggests a fill tolerance rather than a fixed volume, which is common when fluid level is set by an overflow port rather than a precise measured quantity.
  • Both configurations are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the specified capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-stress service cycles.
  • The difference in transaxle fluid volume between the 1600 and V6 variants amounts to at least 1.4 liters at the low end of the V6 range, indicating a meaningfully larger gearbox assembly in the later model.
