Additional Notes

  • The Kia Stinger CK transfer case is divided into two separate fluid compartments: the Clutch and the Actuator. Each compartment carries its own distinct fluid capacity, and the two values are not interchangeable or combined into a single fill figure.
  • The Clutch compartment holds 0.57 liter across all listed AWD configurations. This relatively small volume is consistent with a compact multi-plate clutch pack assembly, which transfers torque to the rear axle on demand rather than operating as a traditional mechanical transfer case with a larger fluid sump.
  • The Actuator compartment holds 0.25 liter. An actuator in this context is typically an electronically controlled hydraulic or mechanical unit that engages and disengages the clutch pack, and its separate fluid cavity reflects a functionally distinct internal mechanism requiring independent lubrication.
  • All six configurations share identical Clutch and Actuator capacities of 0.57 liter and 0.25 liter respectively, meaning the transfer case fluid fill quantities do not vary between the 2.0 T-GDI, 2.5 T-GDI, and 3.3 T-GDI engine variants.
  • The 2.0 T-GDI AWD configurations are listed separately for the Canadian and US markets for the 2018-2021 period, yet both carry the same capacity specifications, indicating the market distinction in the data does not correspond to a difference in transfer case hardware for that engine variant.
  • The 3.3 T-GDI AWD entries are split across three separate rows covering different year ranges and market designations. The CAN-specific entry spans 2018-2020, the USA-specific entry covers 2018-2019, and a non-market-designated entry runs from 2019-2023, all sharing the same 0.57 liter and 0.25 liter capacities.
  • All specifications are listed under normal use conditions. No severe-use interval or capacity variation is specified for any of the listed AWD configurations.
