Hyundai ix55 / Veracruz, EN (EU)

Additional Notes

• The Hyundai ix55 / Veracruz rear differential fluid capacity shifted between two distinct value sets across the 2007-2013 production span. Pre-2011 configurations across both the 3.0 CRDi VGT and 3.8 V6 engines carry a fixed 0.9-liter capacity, while 2011-2013 configurations move to a range-based figure, reflecting a tolerance band rather than a single absolute fill volume.
• The 2011-2013 3.0 CRDi VGT variants specify a capacity range of 0.65-0.75 liter, which is the narrowest band across all configurations listed. A range-based capacity value of this kind typically accounts for minor variation in fill level acceptance between the drain and refill procedure versus a full overhaul fill.
• The 2011-2013 3.8 V6 AWD rear differential carries a wider capacity range of 0.7-0.9 liter. The broader spread in the V6 specification compared to the diesel variants of the same period suggests a larger tolerance in the rear differential housing or a different unit altogether.
• For the 3.0 CRDi VGT AWD and the DPF-equipped variant covering 2007-2011, the normal-use service schedule calls for a fluid check at 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. No fluid change interval is listed under normal use for these configurations, only a check.
• Under severe use, the 2007-2011 3.0 CRDi VGT AWD and DPF variants specify a fluid change at 90,000 km with no time-based interval attached. The absence of a parallel month-based trigger under severe use contrasts with the dual-trigger format seen in the 3.8 V6 severe schedule for the same period.
• The 3.8 V6 AWD covering 2007-2010 applies a check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use. The 30,000 km distance threshold is notably shorter than the 40,000 km check interval applied to the diesel configurations of the same era, indicating a more frequent inspection cadence for the petrol engine variant.
• Under severe use, the 3.8 V6 AWD for 2007-2010 adds a check at 30,000 km or 24 months alongside a change at 90,000 km. The inclusion of a check interval within the severe-use schedule for the V6, while the diesel severe schedule omits a check and lists only a change, represents a structural difference in how the two powertrains are serviced under demanding conditions.
• Across all 2011-2013 configurations regardless of engine type, the severe-use schedule introduces a fluid change at 120,000 km. No change interval appears in any 2011-2013 normal-use row, where only a check is specified. The 120,000 km change figure represents a doubling of the 90,000 km change interval found in the 2007-2011 severe-use rows.
• The 2011-2013 severe-use rows for all configurations include both a check at 60,000 km or 48 months and a separate change at 120,000 km. The dual-action structure, combining a periodic inspection with a longer-interval replacement, is absent from the 2007-2011 severe-use specifications, which list only a change interval.
• The DPF-equipped 3.0 CRDi VGT AWD variant, introduced in 2009, carries identical rear differential fluid capacities and service intervals to the non-DPF 3.0 CRDi VGT AWD across both the 2009-2011 and 2011-2013 periods. The addition of a diesel particulate filter does not alter the rear differential service parameters in any listed configuration.
