Additional Notes

  • The Lexus RX 300 AWD (XU10, EU) rear differential holds 0.9 liter of fluid, a figure consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a larger axle assembly requiring multi-liter fills.
  • Both the 2000-2001 and 2001-2003 RX 300 AWD configurations share an identical 0.9-liter rear differential capacity, indicating no mechanical change to the differential housing across those model years.
  • The change interval for rear differential fluid is set at 30,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • A 48-month maximum interval means fluid age alone can trigger a service requirement even when mileage accumulation is low, which is relevant for vehicles driven infrequently.
  • The 30,000 km distance interval is relatively short by modern differential service standards, reflecting the maintenance philosophy applied to early 2000s Lexus AWD driveline components in the European market.
