Additional Notes

  • All manual transmission fluid specifications for the Jeep Compass MK49 (USA/CAN) across both the 2.0 and 2.4 engine variants carry a severe use condition, meaning the 50,000-mile or 60-month change interval applies specifically to demanding operating circumstances rather than standard driving cycles.
  • Two distinct capacity figures appear across all configurations: a single value of 2 liters and a range of 2.4–2.7 liters. The 2-liter figure typically represents a service or top-up fill, while the 2.4–2.7-liter range reflects the fuller volume associated with a drain-and-refill or overhaul procedure.
  • The 2.0-liter engine configurations cover two overlapping model year spans, 2012-2015 and 2015-2017, both sharing the identical severe-use interval of 50,000 miles or 60 months and the same pair of capacity values.
  • The 2.4-liter front-wheel-drive configurations are specified for 2012-2015 and 2015-2016, with the component noted as a transaxle, manual, reflecting the integrated gearbox and differential assembly common to front-wheel-drive layouts.
  • The 2.4 AWD configurations for 2012-2015 and 2015-2016 are listed under the note transmission, manual rather than transaxle, manual, distinguishing the standalone gearbox unit used in the all-wheel-drive drivetrain from the combined transaxle found in the front-wheel-drive variants.
  • The capacity range of 2.4–2.7 liters on the AWD transmission reflects the slightly larger fluid volume that a separate manual transmission housing can accommodate compared to a compact transaxle unit, though both share the same severe-use service interval.
  • The 60-month time limit paired with the 50,000-mile mileage threshold means fluid age alone can trigger a service requirement under severe conditions, regardless of accumulated mileage.
