Additional Notes

  • The Buick Encore (USA / CAN) transfer case fluid capacity is 0.35 liter across all three AWD configurations covered in the 2017-2022 specifications.
  • A capacity as small as 0.35 liter is characteristic of a compact transfer case unit, where the fluid volume is minimal and precision during a service fill is particularly important to avoid underfilling.
  • The 1.4 Turbo AWD 103 kW variant carries the 0.35 liter transfer case capacity across the 2017-2021 model years, while the 114 kW variant shares the same capacity but only within the 2017-2019 range.
  • The 115 kW AWD configuration, introduced for 2021-2022, also specifies 0.35 liter for the transfer case, placing all three power outputs at an identical fluid capacity despite their differences in output rating.
  • All three configurations list the use condition as normal, meaning the 0.35 liter capacity figure applies under standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change scenario.
  • Each row is noted as a transferbox specification, which refers to the transfer case assembly itself rather than any associated front or rear differential, keeping the 0.35 liter figure specific to that unit alone.
