Citroën C-Crosser

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Citroën C-Crosser transfer case fluid capacity ranges from 0,49 to 0,54 liters. Service intervals include checking at 10000, 15000, or 20000 km, and changing at 30000, 60000, or 75000 km. The data covers 10 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Citroën C-Crosser 2.2 HDi DPF (2007-2009) transfer case has two distinct capacity values: 0.54 liter for a dry fill and 0.5 liter for a service fill. A dry fill applies when the unit is completely empty, such as after a rebuild or replacement, while a service fill accounts for residual fluid that remains in the housing during a routine drain and refill.
  • For the 2.2 HDi DPF (2007-2009) under normal use conditions, the transfer case fluid change interval is 60,000 km, with a check interval at 20,000 km. Under severe use conditions, the change interval is halved to 30,000 km, and the check interval shortens to 15,000 km.
  • The 2.2 HDi DPF variants from 2009-2011 and 2012 list only a single capacity figure of 0.54 liter, with no separate service fill value. The change interval for both is 30,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, introducing a time-based limit not present in the 2007-2009 specifications.
  • The 2.4 16V (2007-2009) transfer case capacity is listed as a single figure of 0.5 liter, with no dry fill distinction. The change interval of 75,000 km is notably longer than the diesel variants, and the check interval under normal use is 15,000 km or 12 months.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.4 16V (2007-2009) shortens the check interval to 10,000 km or 12 months, while the 75,000 km change interval remains unchanged across both normal and severe use conditions.
  • From 2009 onward, the 2.4 16V specifications introduce a transmission-dependent capacity split for the transfer case. A CVT-equipped vehicle takes 0.49 liter, while a manual transmission-equipped vehicle takes 0.54 liter. This distinction does not appear in the 2007-2009 2.4 16V row, which lists only 0.5 liter regardless of transmission type.
  • The 2.4 16V (2009-2011) and 2.4 16V (2012) rows share identical capacity values and intervals across both normal and severe use conditions, with the CVT capacity at 0.49 liter and the manual transmission capacity at 0.54 liter, and a 75,000 km change interval in both cases.
  • Across all 2.4 16V configurations from 2007 through 2012, the 75,000 km fluid change interval remains constant regardless of use condition or model year, while only the check frequency varies between normal and severe service.
