Additional Notes

  • The Lincoln MKX 3.5 V6 24V AWD carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, which is notably higher than the 1.15-liter figure shared by all other configurations in the specification set.
  • The 2.7 EcoBoost AWD variant covering 2016-2018 lists a rear differential capacity of 1.15 liters with no change interval recorded in the specifications.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V AWD from 2006-2010 carries a 100,000-mile rear differential fluid change interval under normal use conditions, dropping to 50,000 miles under severe use conditions, while the fluid capacity of 1.5 liters remains the same across both use conditions.
  • The halving of the change interval from 100,000 miles to 50,000 miles on the 3.5 V6 24V AWD under severe use conditions reflects how demanding operating environments accelerate fluid degradation relative to normal driving.
  • The 3.7 V6 Ti-VCT AWD for model year 2011 and separately for model year 2012 both specify a 1.15-liter rear differential capacity with a 150,000-mile change interval under normal use, representing the longest interval found across the entire specification set.
  • The 3.7 V6 Ti-VCT AWD covering 2013-2015 lists a severe-use change interval of 100,000 miles, which is 50,000 miles shorter than the normal-use interval recorded for the same engine in 2011 and 2012.
  • The 3.7 V6 Ti-VCT AWD for 2016-2018 carries the same severe-use specification as the 2013-2015 variant, with a 1.15-liter capacity and a 100,000-mile change interval, indicating consistency in rear differential service requirements across those model years under severe conditions.
