Additional Notes

  • The Cadillac Escalade (EU) 6.0 V8 Hybrid transfer case holds 1.5 liters of fluid, while the non-hybrid 6.2 V8 for the same 2013-2014 period holds a slightly smaller 1.4 liters. The 0.1-liter difference reflects a physical distinction between the two transfer case units fitted to each powertrain variant.
  • From the 2014-2015 6.2 V8 AWD onward, the transfer case capacity is listed at 1.5 liters across all subsequent configurations through 2019, aligning with the hybrid unit's capacity rather than the earlier naturally aspirated 6.2 V8 figure.
  • The 2013-2014 6.0 V8 Hybrid and 6.2 V8 share the same normal-use transfer case change interval of 150,000 km, indicating a common service schedule recommendation for both powertrains under standard operating conditions during that period.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2013-2014 6.0 V8 Hybrid and 6.2 V8 both carry a 30,000 km or 24-month change interval, whichever comes first. The addition of a time-based threshold alongside the distance figure reflects the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding operating environments.
  • Beginning with the 2015-2016 6.2 V8 AWD, the normal-use transfer case interval increases to 156,000 km from the 150,000 km figure used in 2013-2014. This 6,000 km increase likely corresponds to a revised service schedule adopted with a new model generation.
  • The severe-use interval for the 6.2 V8 AWD changes significantly between model year groups. The 2013-2014 6.2 V8 specifies 30,000 km under severe conditions, whereas the 2014-2015 6.2 V8 AWD specifies 72,000 km. The 72,000 km severe interval then remains consistent across the 2014-2015, 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2019 configurations.
  • The 2014-2015 6.2 V8 AWD entry under normal use lists only a capacity of 1.5 liters with no change interval specified, whereas the severe-use entry for the same configuration includes a 72,000 km interval. No normal-use interval figure is present for that specific configuration.
  • The 156,000 km normal-use interval and 72,000 km severe-use interval for the 6.2 V8 AWD remain unchanged across the 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2019 year ranges, indicating a stable service schedule across three consecutive configuration periods for that variant.
