Additional Notes

  • Both the 1.6 T-GDI AWD and 2.0 MPi AWD configurations share an identical rear differential fluid capacity range of 0.45-0.55 liter, which is a service fill figure reflecting the small volume typical of a rear drive module rather than a traditional open differential housing.
  • The Hyundai KONA SX2 1.6 T-GDI AWD carries a normal-use rear differential fluid check interval of every 8,000 miles or 12 months, paired with a change interval of 16,000 miles or 24 months.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.0 MPi AWD specifies only a check interval of 8,000 miles or 12 months for the rear differential fluid, with no change interval listed for that use condition.
  • Both the 1.6 T-GDI AWD and 2.0 MPi AWD share a severe-use rear differential fluid change interval of 72,000 miles, with no time-based interval accompanying that mileage figure.
  • The normal-use change interval for the 1.6 T-GDI AWD rear differential fluid is 16,000 miles or 24 months, which is considerably shorter than the 72,000-mile severe-use change interval, reflecting how the two use condition schedules are structured differently in terms of interval logic.
