Additional Notes

  • The Ford Kuga Mk I (EU) transfer case holds 0.45 liter across all four configurations covered in the specifications, spanning both the diesel and petrol AWD variants from 2008-2013.
  • A 0.45-liter fill volume is a relatively small capacity, consistent with a compact transfer case unit rather than a larger separate gearbox assembly, reflecting the space constraints typical of a crossover AWD drivetrain.
  • The 2.0 TDCi (100 kW) AWD and the 2.5 Turbo AWD configurations both carry an explicit check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 12-month time-based component of the check interval on the 2.0 TDCi (100 kW) and 2.5 Turbo configurations means a fluid inspection is due annually even when the distance threshold has not been reached.
  • The two Euro 5 diesel variants, the 2.0 TDCi (103 kW) and the 2.0 TDCi (120 kW), share the same 0.45-liter transfer case capacity as the earlier 100 kW diesel, indicating no change in transfer case size between the pre- and post-Euro 5 diesel generations.
  • Despite the power difference between the 103 kW and 120 kW Euro 5 diesel variants, both share an identical 0.45-liter transfer case capacity, suggesting the same transfer case unit is fitted regardless of the output level within the Euro 5 diesel range.
