Additional Notes

  • The Lexus RX (EU) transfer case fluid capacity of 0.8 liter applies uniformly across all listed 4WD variants, from the RX 200t through the RX 350(L). A capacity in this range is characteristic of a compact transfer case unit, where the fluid volume is relatively small compared to a full-size truck transfer case, which can hold several liters.
  • The 0.8 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling during a routine fluid change, rather than a dry-fill or overhaul capacity, which would typically be higher to account for residual fluid in internal passages and components.
  • All listed configurations share an identical change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions. The 48-month time limit means a fluid change is due at whichever threshold is reached first, regardless of mileage, which is relevant for low-mileage vehicles driven infrequently.
  • The RX 200t 4WD covers model years 2015-2017, while the RX 300 4WD spans three consecutive production bands: 2017-2019, 2019-2021, and 2021-2022. Despite the generational segmentation across these bands, the transfer case fluid capacity and change interval remain unchanged throughout.
  • The RX 350(L) designation for the 2017-2019 entry indicates the specification applies to both the standard RX 350 and the extended-wheelbase RX 350L body variant. Both share the same 0.8 liter transfer case capacity and 30,000 km / 48-month service interval.
  • A 30,000 km change interval for transfer case fluid is relatively frequent compared to some manufacturer schedules that extend to 50,000 km or beyond. Under normal use conditions, this interval reflects a maintenance approach that prioritizes fluid condition in the transfer case to manage heat and wear in the 4WD drivetrain components.
