Daihatsu Terios, J2

Additional Notes

• The Daihatsu Terios J2 1.5 16V rear differential holds 1.8 liters across both 2WD and 4WD configurations, covering the full 2006-2014 model year span in the specifications.
• A 1.8-liter rear differential capacity is a relatively substantial fill for a compact SUV, reflecting the size of the housing and the volume of fluid needed to maintain adequate lubrication across the gear set and bearings.
• The front differential on the 1.5 16V 4WD is specified at 0.45 liters, which is considerably smaller than the rear unit, consistent with the more compact housing typical of front differentials in this drivetrain layout.
• The 0.45-liter front differential capacity applies identically to both the 2006-2011 and 2011-2014 4WD variants, indicating no change in front differential specification across the two production periods covered.
• All differential fluid change intervals across every configuration in the specifications are set at 60,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
• The 36-month time limit alongside the 60,000 km mileage threshold means fluid age alone can trigger a service requirement, even when the distance-based interval has not been reached.
• The 4WD configurations for 2006-2011 include a limited slip rear differential variant alongside the standard rear differential, both sharing the same 1.8-liter capacity and 60,000 km / 36-month service interval under normal use.
• The limited slip rear differential specification carries over unchanged into the 2011-2014 4WD variant, with the same 1.8-liter capacity and identical service interval retained.
• All service intervals in the specifications are designated for normal use conditions, meaning no separate severe-use interval is listed for any differential in the Terios J2 range covered here.
