Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Genesis DH (USA) rear differential fluid capacity for the 3.8 GDI V6 is specified as a range of 1.35–1.45 liters. A range rather than a fixed value reflects normal manufacturing tolerances in the differential housing, meaning the correct fill level falls anywhere within that band.
  • The 5.0 GDI V8 rear differential is specified at a fixed 1.4 liters, which sits within the 1.35–1.45 liter range used for the V6 rear differential. Despite the larger engine displacement, the rear differential fluid capacity does not increase significantly between the two engine variants.
  • The 3.8 GDI V6 4WD configuration adds a front differential with a capacity of 0.65–0.75 liters. The front differential holds roughly half the fluid volume of the rear unit, consistent with the smaller physical size typical of front differentials in all-wheel-drive sedan platforms.
  • All configurations share the same fluid check interval of 37,500 miles or 48 months, regardless of drivetrain layout or engine type. The time-based limit of 48 months means a fluid check is due at four years even if the mileage threshold has not been reached.
  • Under severe use conditions, a fluid change at 75,000 miles is specified across all configurations. No mileage-based change interval appears under normal use conditions, where only a check is listed.
  • The 75,000-mile change interval under severe use applies equally to both the front and rear differentials on the 4WD V6. Both units share the same mileage trigger despite their differing fluid capacities.
  • The 2WD V6 specifications appear across two overlapping model year groupings: 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The 2015 model year is covered by both groupings, and the capacity and interval values are identical across both, indicating no specification change between those production periods.
  • The same overlapping year structure applies to the 4WD V6 and the V8, with 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 groupings present for each. Across all engine and drivetrain combinations, the fluid capacities and service intervals remain unchanged between the two groupings.
