Dodge Hornet (USA / CAN)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Dodge Hornet (USA / CAN) differential fluid capacity is 0,6 liter. Service intervals consist of 40000 miles or 48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

  • Hornet 2.0 (2022- )
  • Rear
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,6 liter
  • Check 40000 miles/ 48 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the Hornet 1.3 PHEV and the Hornet 2.0 share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.6 liter, which is a relatively small fill volume consistent with a compact rear differential unit.
  • A 0.6 liter capacity figure represents a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid the differential holds under normal operating conditions rather than a full overhaul or drain-and-refill quantity that might account for residual fluid in passages.
  • The Dodge Hornet 2.0 carries a rear differential fluid check interval of 40,000 miles or 48 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 1.3 PHEV variant follows the same 40,000-mile or 48-month check interval as the 2.0, meaning the addition of a plug-in hybrid powertrain does not alter the rear differential service schedule under normal use.
  • The interval is specified as a check rather than a change, indicating the service action involves inspecting fluid level and condition rather than a mandatory full fluid replacement at that mileage or time mark.
  • A 48-month time limit alongside the 40,000-mile marker means that even in low-mileage operation, the rear differential fluid condition is still subject to a time-based inspection ceiling under normal use.
