Additional Notes

  • The Jeep Compass MK49 2.4 AWD transfer case carries a notably small fluid capacity, with the 2007-2010 configuration holding 0.54 liter and the 2012-2016 configurations holding 0.53 liter. Volumes this low are typical of compact transfer cases where the unit relies on a sealed, precisely measured fill rather than a large reservoir.
  • The 0.01-liter reduction between the 2007-2010 specification and the 2012-2016 specification represents a minor but distinct difference in transfer case capacity across the model range.
  • All five configurations carry a normal use condition, meaning the stated intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or severe-duty cycles.
  • The 2007-2010 configuration pairs the 60,000-mile distance interval with a 60-month time limit, while the 2012-2016 configurations extend the time limit to 72 months while keeping the same 60,000-mile distance threshold.
  • The Canadian-market 2006-2007 Compass 2.4 AWD shares the 0.54-liter capacity and 60-month interval with the USA-market equivalent but uses a 60,000-kilometer distance interval rather than 60,000 miles, reflecting the metric measurement standard applied in Canadian service schedules.
  • The USA-market 2006-2007 Compass 2.4 AWD and the 2007-2010 configuration share identical capacity and interval values, with 0.54 liter and a 60,000-mile or 60-month service schedule.
