Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Tucson LM (USA) manual transaxle fluid capacity differs between engine variants, with the 2.0 MPI holding 2.1 liters and the 2.4 MPI configurations holding 1.8-1.9 liters.
  • The 1.8-1.9 liter capacity range listed for the 2.4 MPI transaxle reflects a service fill tolerance, meaning the acceptable fluid level falls within that window rather than at a single fixed point.
  • Across all three configurations — the 2.0 MPI, 2.4 MPI 2WD, and 2.4 MPI 4WD — the manual transaxle fluid check interval is set at 37,500 miles or 30 months under normal use conditions.
  • Under normal use, no fluid change interval is specified for any of the three configurations, with the service action limited to a fluid level check at 37,500 miles or 30 months.
  • Under severe use conditions, all three configurations share a fluid change interval of 75,000 miles, in addition to the same 37,500-mile or 30-month check interval applied under normal use.
  • The 2.4 MPI 2WD and 2.4 MPI 4WD share identical manual transaxle fluid capacities and service intervals across both normal and severe use conditions, with no specification difference between the two drivetrain variants.
