Additional Notes

  • The Honda Passport 3.5 V6 AWD (YF8) rear differential holds 1.8 liters across all listed service conditions, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, which typically requires draining and refilling without disassembly of the unit.
  • Under severe use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 15,000 miles, reflecting a shortened schedule relative to what on-board maintenance systems might otherwise calculate under less demanding driving patterns.
  • A first change only interval of 7,500 miles applies under severe use, meaning the initial fluid replacement occurs at half the distance of subsequent severe-use intervals, a practice associated with clearing manufacturing residues and break-in byproducts from the differential.
  • The 1.8-liter capacity remains constant whether the service is the initial break-in change at 7,500 miles or a recurring severe-use change at 15,000 miles, indicating no variation in fill volume between the two intervals.
  • A flexible interval tied to the on-board maintenance system is also listed for the rear differential, with the 1.8-liter capacity applying equally under that condition, though no fixed mileage figure is associated with the flexible schedule in the specifications.
