Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Alfa Romeo 164 battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 164) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Alfa Romeo 164 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164 running newer, longer. See Alfa Romeo's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1991 164 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164.

  • When should I have Alfa Romeo 164 alignment checked? You know your Alfa Romeo 164 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Alfa Romeo 164 need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.
