Additional Notes

  • All transfer case (transferbox) configurations across the Lexus LS XF50 AWD range hold a fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, a figure typical of compact transfer units found in passenger car-based AWD systems rather than the larger units used in body-on-frame vehicles.
  • The 0.7 liter capacity applies equally to the LS 500 AWD (VXFA55) and the LS 500h AWD (GVF55), meaning the petrol and hybrid AWD variants share an identical transfer case fluid volume despite differing drivetrain architectures.
  • Under normal use conditions, the service action at 45,000 km or 48 months is a fluid check rather than a fluid change, indicating the interval is used to inspect condition and level without a mandatory drain and refill.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 45,000 km or 48-month interval triggers a full fluid change rather than a check, reflecting the greater thermal and mechanical stress placed on transfer case fluid in demanding driving environments.
  • The interval threshold is defined by whichever limit is reached first, either 45,000 km or 48 months, since both a distance and a time value are specified together for each service event.
  • The LS 500 AWD VXFA55 specifications are listed across three model year groupings: 2017-2019, 2019-2020, and 2020, all carrying the same 0.7 liter capacity and identical 45,000 km or 48-month interval structure.
  • The LS 500h AWD GVF55 follows the same three-phase year grouping pattern as the VXFA55, with entries covering 2017-2019, 2019-2020, and from 2020, all specifying the same capacity and service interval values.
