Additional Notes

  • Two distinct transfer case fluid capacities appear across all engine variants in the Dodge Durango HB (USA): 0.85 liter and 1.6 liter. The difference reflects two separate transfer case units that were fitted to these vehicles, with the smaller figure representing a more compact unit and the larger figure indicating a higher-volume assembly requiring nearly twice the fluid.
  • For the 3.7 V6, 4.7 V8, and 5.7 V8 AWD configurations covering 2004-2007, service intervals are expressed in kilometers and months. The check interval is set at 30,000 km or 30 months, while the fluid change interval extends to 120,000 km or 120 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2007-2009 model year range marks a shift in how service intervals are expressed, moving from kilometers to miles. The normal-use check interval for all three engine variants in this period is 30,000 miles or 30 months, consistent with the earlier generation's time-based threshold but now aligned to the imperial distance standard common in the US market.
  • For 2007-2009 AWD configurations across the 3.7 V6, 4.7 V8, and 5.7 V8, severe-use conditions carry a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles or 60 months. This interval applies to both the 0.85-liter and 1.6-liter transfer case capacities equally, regardless of engine displacement.
  • The 2004-2007 specifications do not separate normal and severe use conditions the way the 2007-2009 data does. A single normal-use entry covers both the check and change intervals for that earlier period, whereas the later period splits the two conditions into distinct rows with separate interval values.
  • Across all three engine displacements — 3.7 V6, 4.7 V8, and 5.7 V8 — the transfer case fluid capacities and service intervals are identical within each model year band. No variation in transfer case specifications is tied to engine size alone.
  • The 120-month change interval listed for 2004-2007 configurations under normal use equals ten years, which is a notably long fluid life expectancy for a mechanical drivetrain component. This figure applies uniformly to both the 0.85-liter and 1.6-liter transfer case variants across all engine types in that period.
