Additional Notes

  • Across all AWD configurations of the Buick Rendezvous spanning 2001-2007, the transfer case fluid capacity is uniformly specified at 0.3 liter, which is a notably small volume consistent with the compact, electronically controlled transfer units commonly found in crossover-style AWD systems of that era.
  • A 0.3 liter capacity indicates a service fill quantity rather than an overhaul or dry-fill figure, meaning the specification reflects the amount of fluid needed during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete rebuild where all internal passages and cavities are filled from empty.
  • The service interval across all four configurations is listed as a 12-month check under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected on an annual basis regardless of mileage accumulation.
  • The 3.4 V6 AWD variant carries two separate row entries covering 2001-2003 and 2003-2005 respectively, both sharing the same 0.3 liter capacity and 12-month check interval, indicating no specification change occurred across that production span despite the overlapping model year of 2003.
  • The 3.6 V6 24V AWD, covering 2003-2006, carries the same 0.3 liter transfer case capacity and 12-month check interval as the other engine variants, meaning the larger and more advanced 24-valve engine configuration did not alter the transfer case fluid requirements.
  • The 3.5 V6 AWD covering 2005-2007 shares the identical transfer case specification as earlier engine variants, placing all four configurations on the same service schedule and fill quantity despite spanning different displacement and valve train designs.
