Additional Notes

  • The transfer case fluid capacity for the transferbox on both the Hyundai Santa Fe MX5 (EU) 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD and 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD, starting from 2024, is 0.65 liter, which is a service fill figure used when topping up or replacing fluid without a full mechanical overhaul.
  • The transferbox coupling on both the Hybrid AWD and Plug-in Hybrid AWD variants carries a separate fluid capacity of 0.37 to 0.4 liter under normal use conditions, reflecting a distinct fluid circuit from the main transferbox.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transferbox on both the 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD and 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD calls for a fluid check at 48 months or 60,000 km, whichever comes first, with no fluid change interval specified for normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions, the transferbox check interval on both variants is defined as 60,000 km or 48 months, and a fluid change is additionally required at 120,000 km, a requirement absent from the normal use schedule.
  • The coupling fluid capacity of 0.37 to 0.4 liter is listed only under normal use conditions, with no corresponding severe use capacity or interval data present in the specifications for that component.
