Additional Notes

  • The Lexus LS XF40 (EU) transfer case fluid capacity is 0.7 liter across all listed configurations, covering both the LS 460 AWD and LS 600h variants from 2007 onward.
  • The 0.7 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when topping up or replacing fluid in a unit already installed in the vehicle rather than a dry-fill overhaul quantity.
  • The LS 460 AWD (2008-2012) transferbox carries a normal-use check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, with a change interval set at 40,000 km or 48 months.
  • Under severe use, the LS 460 AWD (2008-2012) transferbox fluid change interval shortens to 20,000 km or 24 months, which is half the distance threshold applied under normal conditions.
  • The LS 460 AWD (2012-2017) transferbox under normal use carries only a check interval of 45,000 km or 24 months, with no fluid change interval listed for that condition.
  • Under severe use, the LS 460 AWD (2012-2017) transferbox adds a check interval of 22,500 km or 24 months alongside a change interval of 45,000 km or 48 months, a structure not present in the earlier 2008-2012 severe-use row.
  • The LS 600h (2007-2012) transferbox under normal use specifies only a check interval of 45,000 km or 48 months, while the severe-use condition for the same generation replaces that with a change interval at the same 45,000 km or 48-month threshold.
  • The LS 600h (2012-2017) transferbox retains identical interval values to the 2007-2012 generation, with a normal-use check at 45,000 km or 48 months and a severe-use change at 45,000 km or 48 months.
  • The LS 460 AWD (2008-2012) transferbox is noted specifically as automatic, a distinction not carried in the later 2012-2017 LS 460 AWD rows or in any LS 600h row.
