Case - IH MXU

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Case - IH MXU differential fluid capacity ranges from 7,5 to 9 liters. Service intervals include checking at 300 hours and changing at 1200 hours or 12 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Case-IH MXU front differential fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the 2003-2006 lineup: 7.5 liters for the MXU100 and MXU110, and 9 liters for the MXU115, MXU125, and MXU135.
  • The 9-liter front differential capacity on the MXU115, MXU125, and MXU135 is 1.5 liters greater than on the lower two variants, a difference that reflects the larger front axle assemblies typically found in higher-output tractor configurations.
  • All five variants share an identical fluid check interval of every 300 hours under normal use conditions, meaning routine inspection frequency does not vary across the MXU range for front differential service.
  • The fluid change interval across all five variants is set at 1,200 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, following the standard practice of applying both an operational hour threshold and a calendar-based limit.
  • The 300-hour check interval represents roughly one-quarter of the 1,200-hour change interval, meaning a technician would perform approximately three fluid level inspections between each full fluid change cycle.
  • All specifications listed apply to normal use conditions, which in agricultural equipment service typically refers to standard field operation as opposed to more demanding or abusive duty cycles.
