Additional Notes

  • The transfer case fluid capacity across all listed 2006-2008 Chrysler 300(C) LX AWD configurations is 0.6 liter, a figure consistent with the compact transfer box units found in passenger car-based AWD platforms rather than truck-style transfer cases, which typically hold considerably more fluid.
  • The Canadian-market 300 3.5 V6 AWD specifies a fluid change at 100,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions, while the US-market version of the same engine calls for a fluid check at 30,000 miles or 30 months under normal use, reflecting a notably different service action between the two markets at their respective normal-use intervals.
  • For the US-market 300 3.5 V6 AWD under severe use conditions, the transfer case fluid change interval is set at 60,000 miles or 60 months, which is double the distance of the normal-use check interval specified for the same market configuration.
  • The Canadian-market 300C 5.7 HEMI V8 AWD carries a normal-use transfer case fluid change interval of 80,000 km with no month-based limit listed alongside it, whereas the Canadian 3.5 V6 AWD normal-use interval pairs its 100,000 km distance with a 60-month time limit.
  • The US-market 300C 5.7 HEMI V8 AWD specifies a transfer case fluid change at 48,000 miles under severe use conditions, with no month-based interval listed alongside the mileage figure in the specifications.
  • Comparing the two US-market AWD configurations under severe use, the 5.7 HEMI V8 AWD calls for a fluid change at 48,000 miles while the 3.5 V6 AWD extends that interval to 60,000 miles, a difference of 12,000 miles between the two engine variants despite sharing the same 0.6-liter transfer case capacity.
