Alfa Romeo recommends having your 1994 Alfa Romeo 164’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 164 in the above table. Outside of Alfa Romeo-recommended oil change intervals, your 164 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Alfa Romeo if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Alfa Romeo 164. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1994 Alfa Romeo 164 Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Alfa Romeo 164 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Alfa Romeo 164 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Alfa Romeo 164 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Alfa Romeo exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Alfa Romeo 164 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Alfa Romeo 164 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Alfa Romeo 164 oil light illuminated? Your Alfa Romeo 164 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my 164's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Alfa Romeo 164 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
