Additional Notes

  • The Jeep Cherokee/Liberty KK 3.7 V6 automatic transmission carries two distinct dry fill values depending on the transmission variant: 8.3 liters and 7.7 liters. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly rebuilt transmission, as opposed to a routine fluid exchange.
  • Service fill capacity, which reflects only the volume displaced during a standard fluid change without a full teardown, is listed at 3.8 liters for the 8.3-liter dry fill variant and 5.0 liters for the 7.7-liter dry fill variant. The gap between dry and service fill values in both cases is substantial, meaning a routine service replaces well under half the total fluid volume.
  • For the 2007-2010 3.7 V6 configurations, both AWD and non-AWD variants share identical capacity figures and change intervals: 120,000 miles or 120 months under normal use, and 60,000 miles or 60 months under severe use.
  • The 2010-2012 3.7 V6 configurations retain the same mileage threshold of 120,000 miles for normal use but carry a reduced time limit of 90 months, compared to the 120-month limit specified for 2007-2010 models.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2010-2012 3.7 V6 specifications list a change interval of 64,000 miles or 48 months. The 2007-2010 severe use interval was 60,000 miles or 60 months, making the 2010-2012 mileage threshold slightly higher while the time limit is shorter.
  • Across all 3.7 V6 configurations in both generation ranges, AWD and non-AWD variants carry identical dry fill, service fill, and change interval values, indicating no capacity or scheduling differentiation between the two drivetrain layouts in the specifications.
