Should I check my Alfa Romeo GTV-6 motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Alfa Romeo GTV-6 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Alfa Romeo oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Alfa Romeo exhaust smoke gray or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Who can change the oil on my Alfa Romeo GTV-6?

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Alfa Romeo GTV-6 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

Why is my Alfa Romeo GTV-6 oil light illuminated?

The oil change light in your Alfa Romeo GTV-6 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Does my GTV-6's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

You should replace your Alfa Romeo GTV-6 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.

Alfa Romeo recommends having your 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV-6’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your GTV-6 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Alfa Romeo GTV-6.
