Busso V6 - How to Change Oil & Which One is Best | Alfa Romeo 2.5/3.0/3.2
This video answers the following questions:
- Which cars have this engine?
- What oil should I use?
- How much oil am I going to need?
- How often should I change it?
- What is the step-by-step procedure?
In case you can add another good option for oil or you have any additional advice or feedback for Busso owners, please feel free to comment! Let’s keep these cars on the road for as long as possible!

So, you have bought an Alfa Romeo with the mighty Busso V6 engine - congratulations!
Now you have to change the oil - regularly...
You probably know the history of this engine - everything about Mr. Giuseppe Busso, the evolution of the engine and it’s glorious sound. If not and if you want me to make a video about its history - leave a comment!
What is important to know is that this video concentrates on the 24 valve versions of the engine, mounted on different Alfa Romeo models between 1995 and 2005.
So here comes the first question - Which cars have this engine? You have three options:
- 2.5 - litre displacement:
o Alfa 156 and 166
o Take a look at the chrome intake runners - they are 42 mm wide and that’s how you recognize the 2.5 litre engine (screenshot)
- Then comes the 3-liter engine. It can be found in the Alfa Romeo 166 and in the Alfa Romeo GTV. The runners here are 45 mm wide. (screenshot)
- The final iteration of the engine is the 3.2-liter. The runners are still 45 mm wide and it can be found in the Alfa GT, Alfa GTV, Alfa 147 GTA, 156 GTA and also in the 166 facelift. There was a GTA project for the 166 with a V8 engine, but this is a topic for another video - leave a comment if you want me to make it!
So, you own one of the cars we have mentioned, now what oil should you use? At the first years of the production of this engine, Alfa was recommending 10W40, but later changed the specification and started recommending 10w60 fully synthethic oil. Why? Well, there are several reasons, but the most important one is that the Busso engine produces a lot of heat, especially in the later years with the additional catalytic converteres and 10W60 handles extreme heat better than 10W40. In addition to that, many owners have experimented and state that 10W60 leads to a small decrease in oil consumption. And yes - these engines consume oil, especially at higher rpms and this is perfectly normal. You should check the oil regularly and top it up if needed. I personally check it about once a week. 9 out of 10 times everything is good and I just return the dipstick to its place, but sometimes I need to add a little bit of oil.
I use the Eni Racing 10W60. There are two packaging options for this oil - golden bottles and black bottles and both are fine. There is a link in the description where you can see prices and purchase the oil.
Another good option is the Motul 8100 10W60. The manufacturer recommends it for cars like the old BMW M-series, Audi R8, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, and the V12 engines of Ferrari. There is a link in the description to that as well.
Of course, you are also going to need an oil filter, but this one is easy - it is just a regular filter that is fitted to dozens of cars. There might be some build differences between manufacturers, so a rule of thumb here is to choose the big companies that you have heard about - Eni, UFI, Champion and not some chinese random options. There is a link below for that as well.
Sometimes I also add an additive like the Bardahl Long Life with fullerene. It is an interesting product, I have left a link so you can read more about it.
The next question that comes right after that is how much oil you are going to need. The V6 engine holds 6.1 liters of oil, which is why I usually buy 7 liters for the oil change. This way I know that I am going to have enough for the oil change and I am left with an almost full bottle for topping the oil up whenever needed. If the price of the oil is good, it never hurts to buy one additional bottle and store it in your garage just in case. Depending on the wear of your engine, the 0.9 liters left for topping up might not be enough to get you to the next oil change. Acccording to Alfa Romeo, the maximal range of standard oil consumption is 400 grams per 1000 kilometers or 4 liters between changes.

do you sell the manual mirrors? :D Looking for left mirror plate and cant find anywhere :)
24 valve started already in 1992 in the 164. I started with the 12v versions in the 75 & early 164. Then came a 1993 3.0 24v QV 230 hp. I started using 10w60 (Valvoline racing) and never went back to 10w40. After that I also used it on my trackday 75 v6 and noticed a significant reduction of the typical main bearing light knocking sounds when running the engine idle after a demanding ride (hot thin oil). Used Agip racing (ENI) as well, nothing wrong with it. Currently trying out Castrol 10w60 also on my daily twinspark 16v. Oil consumption went down from 1 ltr on 3000 km to 4-5000km.
Ya forgot the 164....
Thank you very much for sharing

Nice video. Many thanks and best wishes from England
Amazing video, thanks man! Cheers from Sweden /GTV owner
Hi from Ireland from me and my 147GTA. Excellent concise video! Thanks man. Looking forward to more content.
Thank you! 😊
I've found Mobil1 FS 5w50 has a good compromise of cold starting and high temperature viscosity on 3.2. No real oil consumption, stays golden through period. Add maybe 0,5l per 10k.
I think gastrol is also very good right? Nice video btw
Yeah, Castrol also have good offerings
Awesome videos. Thanks for helping me make my bucket better.

Busso 24V engines were also used in the Lancia Kappa and Thesis. In Kappa 3.0 CF2, in Thesis 3.0 CF3 and 3.2 CF4. The manual for Lancia Thesis states that V6 engines should use 10w40 oil (Selenia 20k), with two reservations, for sports use 10w60 oil (Selenia Racing), and for low temperature operation 5w30 oil (Selenia Performer). I use Eni Euro Sport or Gulf Racing oil with a viscosity of 5w50. In Thesis, the capacity of the lubrication system is 5.9L because there is no external oil cooler, only an exchanger under the filter, as in the 2.5 version.

selenia racing is the best oil for these engines.
Shell racing ultra 10w60
I use motul 10w60 on my Busso 3.2 V6...And it's great
I have Limited Edition 99 😊
Hey do you know how to remove the glass from the original mirror?
Try pulling it out with a vacuum clamp for a smartphone, it should pop out ;)
I have a coupe with the same engine and it's really fun to drive
Reliability ?
@@SarbjitSingh-rs6kp more than correct this engine is know for being solid
@@SarbjitSingh-rs6kp Barchetta has two type of engines, one is from alfa romeo from year 95 to 2000 and another engine is Fiat 1.8HGT after year 2000, this engine is little worse than the old one. First one is very reliable, if engine always got right oil (selenia). But fiat coupe if I have good information has always fiat 1.8 HGT engine or 2.0
Où se trouve le numéro de série de la Fiat Barchetta ?
that’s my car!!
Su alfa 90 andava con 20w50
Thanks for watching! In case you can add another good option for oil or you have any additional advice or feedback for Busso owners, please feel free to comment! Let’s keep these cars on the road for as long as possible!
have one, it's a great fun car..❤
great video keep up the work👍
Nice👍

I was also sceptical about tbe performance, but I checked several sources and the info matches: www.musclecarfacts.com/pontiac-gto/74-1967-gto/
It's not my grandpa's LS swapped Pontiac solstice? 4.8 ...67 wished!
Street tune it has plenty more ... Eats all the vets and lambos ! The porches eventually pull away !
0-60 in 4.9 ? Lol fake. Only vehicle hitting those numbers was the Shelby Cobra. At 4.9 seconds it should be in the 13s.
That top end # is rough 13s ? Really
I wonder what car it could be with a Ferrari engine and steering wheel….

Great car and great sound!!
Cool
I'm missing the wiring harness and front face plate front old deck your playing with were can I get them from
Honda civic eg 😊
Can work speaker direct in auto player
Yes, the speaker is connected to the player directly for the test. It will work way better with an external amplifier though.
Thanks ,
Hello i haw this speaker to and i want to hnow are thei thast speaker or bass speaker? Thanks
It is not a bass speaker only, take a look of the smaller speaker mounted in the middle. It has a big range from low to high frequencies.
