Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Terios J1 1.3 4WD transfer case holds 1.6 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, covering both the 1997-2000 and 2000-2006 model year ranges.
  • The 1.6-liter capacity figure applies specifically to the transfer box sourced from the automatic transmission variant, meaning manual-derived configurations are not represented in these rows.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1997-2000 Terios 1.3 4WD follows a check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The normal-use fluid change interval is set at 90,000 km or 48 months for both the 1997-2000 and 2000-2006 configurations, placing a full drain-and-refill cycle on a relatively extended schedule.
  • For the 2000-2006 Terios 1.3 4WD under severe use conditions, the change interval drops sharply to 40,000 km, less than half the 90,000 km interval specified for normal use on the same configuration.
  • The severe-use row for the 2000-2006 range carries no time-based interval alongside the 40,000 km change figure, whereas the normal-use row pairs its mileage interval with a 48-month ceiling.
