Additional Notes
- The Kia Mohave / Borrego HM (EU) transfer case carries a fluid capacity of 1.5–1.7 liters across all engine variants in the lineup, a range that reflects normal fill tolerances rather than a distinction between service fill and overhaul quantities.
- A capacity expressed as a range, such as 1.5–1.7 liters, typically accounts for minor variation in drain completeness and unit design, meaning the actual fill amount at service may fall anywhere within that window depending on how thoroughly the old fluid was evacuated.
- The transfer case fluid check interval is set at 48 months or 60,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying uniformly to the 3.0 CRDi, 3.0 CRDi DPF, 3.8, and 4.6 engine variants.
- The 3.0 CRDi configuration spans two distinct production periods, 2009–2011 and 2012–2020, yet both share the same 1.5–1.7 liter capacity and 48-month/60,000 km check interval, indicating no revision to transfer case service requirements between those generations.
- The 3.0 CRDi DPF variant, covering 2012–2020, carries identical transfer case specifications to the non-DPF 3.0 CRDi of the same period, meaning the addition of a diesel particulate filter had no bearing on transfer case fluid capacity or service scheduling.
- The 3.8-liter petrol variant, spanning 2009–2019, shares the same 1.5–1.7 liter transfer case capacity and 48-month/60,000 km check interval as the diesel configurations, despite the fundamental differences between petrol and diesel drivetrains.
- The 4.6-liter variant, covering 2009–2016, also conforms to the same transfer case fluid capacity and inspection interval, confirming that engine displacement differences among the available powertrains did not produce variation in transfer case service specifications.
