How Often to Change 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Alfa Romeo Spider’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1983 Spider’s oil should be changed according to Alfa Romeo’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Spider in the above table. Outside of Alfa Romeo-recommended oil change intervals, your Spider may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Alfa Romeo recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Alfa Romeo Spider. 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.

1983 Alfa Romeo Spider Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Alfa Romeo Spider? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Alfa Romeo Spider engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Alfa Romeo Spider 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Alfa Romeo Spider spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Alfa Romeo Spider oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Alfa Romeo Spider oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Alfa Romeo Spider to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Alfa Romeo Spider oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Spider's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Alfa Romeo Spider every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
