Additional Notes
- The Ford Explorer (EU) 3.0 EcoBoost PHEV AWD carries a front differential fluid capacity of 0.6 liter, a relatively modest figure consistent with a compact front differential unit in an all-wheel-drive layout.
- The rear differential on the 3.0 EcoBoost PHEV AWD has a notably wider capacity range of 1.59 to 1.77 liters, which reflects a tolerance band in fill volume rather than a single fixed value, meaning the acceptable service fill falls anywhere within that span.
- The rear differential capacity being roughly two to three times greater than the front differential capacity of 0.6 liter points to a larger and more mechanically loaded rear unit, which is a common characteristic in AWD vehicles where rear axle torque demands are higher.
- Both the front and rear differential fluid specifications for the 3.0 EcoBoost PHEV AWD are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
