Additional Notes

  • Both the Dodge Magnum 3.5 V6 AWD and 5.7 V8 AWD share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 0.6 liter, which is a relatively small volume consistent with a sealed transfer case unit rather than a larger, serviceable gearbox assembly.
  • The 0.6 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used during a routine drain and refill rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • For the 3.5 V6 AWD, the transfer case fluid change interval under normal use conditions is set at 48,000 miles or 48 months, whichever comes first.
  • The 5.7 V8 AWD carries the same normal-use change interval of 48,000 miles or 48 months, placing both engine configurations on an identical maintenance schedule for the transfer case.
  • The 48-month time limit alongside the mileage figure means that calendar time alone can trigger a fluid change even when mileage accumulation is low, a common approach for vehicles that may sit for extended periods.
  • The specifications cover the USA market Dodge Magnum LX across the 2004-2008 model years, with no variation in transfer case fluid capacity or change interval observed between the V6 and V8 AWD configurations.
