Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Tucson LM (USA) rear differential capacity differs between engine families. The 2.0 GDI and 2.4 GDI 4WD variants from 2013-2015 share a 0.53-liter capacity, while the 2.4 MPI 4WD from 2010-2013 holds 0.65 liters.
  • The 0.65-liter figure for the 2.4 MPI 4WD represents a noticeably larger rear differential fill volume compared to the 0.53-liter figure shared by both GDI-equipped configurations, a difference of 0.12 liters.
  • Across all six configurations, the rear differential check interval is set at 37,500 miles or 30 months, regardless of whether the use condition is normal or severe.
  • Under normal use conditions, none of the three engine configurations carry a fluid change interval for the rear differential. A check interval is the only mileage-based service action listed for normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions, all three engine configurations add a fluid change interval of 75,000 miles on top of the 37,500-mile or 30-month check interval already present in normal use.
  • The 75,000-mile change interval under severe use applies equally to the 2.0 GDI 4WD, 2.4 GDI 4WD, and 2.4 MPI 4WD configurations, with no variation in that figure across the three engine types.
  • The 2.4 MPI 4WD covers model years 2010-2013, while both GDI variants cover 2013-2015, meaning the year 2013 represents an overlap period where both the outgoing MPI and the incoming GDI specifications were in use.
