Additional Notes

  • The transfer case fluid capacity across all listed Mazda Tribute EP (EU) configurations is 0.35 liter, a notably small volume consistent with compact transfer box units found in light-duty 4WD systems.
  • The 2.0 4WD variant covering 2001-2006 carries a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is inspected rather than replaced at that interval.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 2.0 4WD transfer box specifies a fluid change at 40,000 km or 48 months, which is a replacement interval rather than an inspection, reflecting the greater fluid degradation expected under demanding operating conditions.
  • The 3.0 V6 variant covering 2001-2005 shares the same 0.35 liter capacity and the 15,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use as the 2.0 4WD, despite being a different engine configuration.
  • The 2.3 engine variant, introduced for 2004-2006, lists only a 0.35 liter capacity under normal use with no accompanying check or change interval in the specifications.
  • The 3.0 V6 production span of 2001-2005 is shorter than the 2.0 4WD span of 2001-2006, and no severe use interval data appears for the V6 in the specifications.
