Additional Notes

  • The 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD transferbox carries 0.65 liter under severe use conditions, paired with a 72,000-mile change interval — the only drain-and-fill interval specified across the listed configurations.
  • The Hyundai Santa Fe MX5 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD transferbox coupling holds 0.36-0.40 liter under normal use conditions, a range that reflects acceptable fill variation rather than a fixed target volume.
  • The 2.5 T-GDI AWD transferbox capacity falls between 0.47 and 0.52 liter under normal use conditions, which is notably higher than the coupling's separate 0.39-liter fill for the same drivetrain.
  • Both AWD configurations list the transferbox and coupling as distinct service points, each with separate capacity values, indicating two independent fluid fills are involved in a complete transfer case service.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD transferbox capacity of 0.65 liter under severe use is larger than the 2.5 T-GDI AWD transferbox range of 0.47-0.52 liter under normal use, reflecting a difference between both the engine variant and the applicable use condition.
