Additional Notes

  • Across all three engine variants of the Hyundai Terracan HP (EU), the front differential holds 1.8 liters of fluid, while both the standard rear differential and the limited slip rear differential share a 2.8-liter capacity.
  • The 1.0-liter difference between the front and rear differential capacities reflects the rear unit's larger housing, which is a common characteristic in body-on-frame and truck-based SUV platforms where the rear axle carries greater torque loads.
  • The rear limited slip differential carries the same 2.8-liter capacity as the open rear differential across all listed engine variants, indicating the limited slip mechanism fits within the same housing dimensions without requiring additional fluid volume.
  • For the 2.5 TCI (2001-2004) and 2.9 CRDi (2001-2007) variants, a check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions is specified for both the front and rear differentials, including the limited slip rear unit.
  • The 3.5i V6 (2001-2007) shares the same 1.8-liter front and 2.8-liter rear differential capacities as the diesel variants, but no check interval is listed for any of its differential positions.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval on the 2.5 TCI and 2.9 CRDi differentials applies under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is not adjusted for severe use in the specifications provided.
  • The 2.9 CRDi covers the model years 2001-2007, a longer production span than the 2.5 TCI, which ran only through 2001-2004, yet both engines share identical differential capacities and check intervals across all three differential positions.
