Chevrolet Equinox, D2XX (USA / CAN)

Additional Notes

• The Chevrolet Equinox D2XX AWD transfer case capacity changed between specification revisions for the 1.5 Ecotec Turbo. The 2017-2019 build used a 0.8-liter fill, while the 2019-2022 and 2022- builds specify 0.5 liters, representing a 37.5% reduction in fluid volume for the same transferbox application.
• The overlap year of 2019 for the 1.5 Ecotec Turbo AWD is significant. Two separate capacity figures, 0.8 liter and 0.5 liter, are both associated with 2019 model production, indicating a mid-cycle specification change rather than a clean model-year boundary.
• The 1.6 CDTi AWD and the 2.0 Ecotec Turbo AWD (2017-2020) both carry the 0.8-liter transfer case capacity, aligning with the earlier 1.5 Ecotec Turbo specification rather than the revised 0.5-liter figure.
• A second specification row exists for the 2.0 Ecotec Turbo AWD covering 2019-2020, with a reduced capacity of 0.5 liters. As with the 1.5 Ecotec Turbo, this creates a dual-specification period within the same engine variant, where 2019-2020 production may fall under either the 0.8-liter or 0.5-liter fill depending on the specific unit.
• All six specification rows are designated for normal use conditions. No severe-duty or alternative service interval variants are listed for any of the transfer case configurations across the 2017-2022 range.
• Transfer case fluid capacity figures such as these represent service fill volumes, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the unit during routine maintenance. A dry-fill or overhaul capacity would typically be higher, as residual fluid remains in the unit during a standard drain procedure.
• The 0.5-liter capacity noted for the revised 1.5 Ecotec Turbo and 2.0 Ecotec Turbo transfer cases is a relatively small fluid volume, consistent with electronically controlled, clutch-pack-style transfer cases commonly used in crossover AWD systems, where the unit is compact and fluid volume is limited by design.
