Additional Notes

  • All six 4WD configurations of the Hyundai Tucson JM (EU) share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 0.8 liter, indicating a compact transfer box unit consistent across both diesel and petrol drivetrains in the range.
  • The 0.8 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when draining and refilling the transfer case during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transfer case fluid change interval is set at 100,000 km across all listed configurations, placing the service requirement in the long-life category relative to many other drivetrain fluids.
  • A fluid level check interval of 40,000 km applies to all configurations under normal use conditions, occurring at a frequency 2.5 times greater than the full fluid change interval, reflecting standard practice for monitoring transfer case fluid condition and level between changes.
  • The diesel variants span the 2004-2008 model years and include four distinct configurations: the 2.0 CRDi, the 2.0 CRDi with DPF, the 2.0 CRDi VGT, and the 2.0 CRDi VGT with DPF. Despite differences in induction and emissions equipment, all four share the same 0.8 liter capacity and identical service intervals.
  • The 2.0 CRDi VGT variants, which feature a variable geometry turbocharger, entered the specification from 2005 rather than 2004, making the model year range one year shorter than the standard 2.0 CRDi configurations, though transfer case specifications remain unchanged.
  • The Tucson 2.7i V6 4WD covers the 2004-2009 model years, the widest span among the listed configurations, yet carries the same 0.8 liter transfer case capacity and 100,000 km change interval as the four-cylinder variants.
