Alfa Romeo recommends having your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 164 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.
