Oil change. How many quarts?
Surprisingly difficult to find. A search yielded nothing. This information has vanished from existence. Who can bring forth the forbidden fruit of knowledge?

It's vanished from existence unless you check the last page of the owner's manual. In that case, you'll see it's ~7.1 quarts.

Seriously, I've met a couple of Milano owners that had no idea there was a glove box on their car. They were amazed when I showed them.

I have long coveted an owners manual. Unfortunately, they are as elusive and fleeting as a shooting star. Men pin a lifetime of hopes on the chance to own one. Some people even spend their entire lives idly waiting for one to appear. . .

hehe I had no problem with finding the glove box. But when I bought the car I did have to drive back to find out how to get the front window to go up.

 I don't have the owner's manual and there is the open shelf on the right hand side .....

Somewhere I have a Road & Track magazine from 1987 with a review of the then new Milano.
The writer comments negativly on the lack of a proper glovebox.

Manuals come up for sale on ebay pretty frequently. Strangely, we had no problems figuring out where the window switches were, and knew there was a drawer under the shelf.
Now, that dratted locking gas cap, that's another story...

I kind of like the glove box hidden like that. You can keep your GPS and not to worry for someone stealing it.

The manual for my 1983 GTV6 lists the oil capacity as 6.0 kgs!  |
