Additional Notes

  • The Ford Escape (2nd Gen, USA) transfer case fluid capacity is 0.35 liter across all listed AWD configurations, covering the 2.5 16V, 3.0 V6, and Hybrid 2.5 16V variants.
  • A 0.35 liter capacity is characteristic of a compact, electronically controlled transfer case unit, where the small fluid volume reflects a sealed, low-maintenance design rather than a traditional mechanical transfer case requiring larger fluid reserves.
  • All six configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed 0.35 liter capacity applies to standard operating conditions rather than severe-duty or off-road service cycles.
  • The 2.5 16V AWD and 3.0 V6 AWD variants share an identical 0.35 liter transfer case capacity across both the 2009-2011 and 2012 model year groupings, indicating no change in the transfer case unit between those engine options or across those years.
  • The Escape Hybrid 2.5 16V AWD has the same 0.35 liter transfer case capacity as the non-hybrid 2.5 16V AWD, suggesting the hybrid powertrain does not alter the transfer case hardware or its fluid requirement.
  • The Hybrid variant's coverage begins in 2008, one year earlier than the non-hybrid 2.5 16V and 3.0 V6 AWD entries, which start from 2009.
