Mitsubishi Eclipse (USA / CAN)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Eclipse (USA / CAN) requires transfer case fluid with a capacity of 0,5 liter. Service intervals include checking and changing the fluid every 30000 miles. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Eclipse 2.0T 4WD (1995-1999)
  • Use: Severe
  • Capacity 0,5 liter
  • Change 30000 miles

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0T 4WD covers model years 1995-1999 in the transfer case fluid specifications listed here.
  • Transfer case fluid capacity is 0.5 liter across both the normal and severe use conditions, indicating a compact unit with a relatively small fluid volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified service action at 30,000 miles is a fluid level check rather than a full fluid change, meaning the interval is structured around inspection rather than replacement.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 30,000-mile interval calls for a fluid change instead of a check, reflecting the greater thermal and mechanical stress placed on the transfer case fluid in demanding driving situations.
  • The 0.5-liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, consistent with a drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul capacity, which would typically account for additional fluid retained in passages and components during disassembly.
