Additional Notes
- The Dodge Dakota ND (2005-2007) transfer case specifications list two distinct fluid capacities depending on the transfer box variant: 1.2 liters for the standard transfer box and 1.35 liters for the transfer box designated as 4x4, a difference of 0.15 liters that applies equally across both the 3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8 engine configurations.
- The 1.2-liter figure represents a service fill capacity for the standard transfer box, while the 1.35-liter figure for the 4x4-designated transfer box reflects a slightly larger unit requiring a correspondingly greater fluid volume at service.
- Canadian-market specifications for the 2005-2007 Dakota (both 3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8) set the fluid check interval at 48,000 km or 24 months, whereas USA-market specifications for the same years and engines set the check interval at 30,000 km or 30 months.
- The fluid change interval for Canadian-market vehicles is listed at 192,000 km or 96 months, which is considerably longer in distance terms than the USA-market interval of 120,000 km or 120 months, though the USA interval allows up to 120 months compared to the Canadian 96 months.
- All eight rows carry a normal use condition, meaning none of the listed intervals are adjusted for severe-duty operation within the provided specifications.
- The capacity values of 1.2 liters and 1.35 liters are consistent across both the 3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8 engine variants for their respective transfer box types, indicating the transfer box unit type rather than the engine drives the capacity difference.
- The Canadian-market change interval of 192,000 km is 60% longer in distance than the USA-market figure of 120,000 km, despite both markets covering the same 2005-2007 model years and engine options.
