Additional Notes
- The Lincoln MKC automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 8.5 liters across all listed configurations, covering both the 2.0 EcoBoost and 2.3 EcoBoost AWD variants from 2015 onward. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled unit, rather than a partial service refill.
- Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval is set at 150,000 miles for every configuration in the specifications. An interval of this length reflects a sealed or lifetime-rated transmission design, where the fluid is not expected to require routine replacement under typical driving demands.
- Under severe use conditions, the same transaxle requires a fluid change at 30,000 miles across all listed configurations. Severe use typically involves conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, or extreme temperatures, all of which accelerate fluid degradation and shorten the effective service life of the fluid.
- The gap between the normal interval of 150,000 miles and the severe interval of 30,000 miles represents a fivefold difference. Both intervals apply to the same 8.5-liter dry fill capacity, meaning the fluid volume involved in a service event is identical regardless of which interval triggers the change.
- The 2.0 EcoBoost configurations appear in two separate year groupings, 2015-2018 and 2018-2020, for both the front-wheel-drive and AWD variants. Despite the split into distinct entries, the capacity and interval specifications are identical across both groupings in each drivetrain configuration.
- The 2.3 EcoBoost is listed exclusively in an AWD configuration spanning 2015-2020, and shares the same 8.5-liter dry fill capacity and identical normal and severe service intervals as the 2.0 EcoBoost variants. No front-wheel-drive entry exists for the 2.3 EcoBoost in the specifications.
