Mitsubishi Lancer, CY0 (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Lancer, CY0 (EU) transfer case fluid capacity ranges from 0,49 to 0,8 liters. Service intervals include checking every 20000 km or 12 months, and changing at 20000 km, 40000 km, or 80000 km. The data covers 10 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer CY0 (EU) 2.0 4WD transfer case holds 0.49 liter of fluid, a relatively small volume consistent with a compact transfer unit rather than a full-size four-wheel-drive assembly.
  • On the 2.0 4WD (2008-2011), the fluid change interval under normal use is set at 80,000 km, while severe use cuts that interval in half to 40,000 km, with both conditions sharing the same 20,000 km or 12-month check schedule.
  • The Lancer Ralliart (2008-2010) carries the same 0.49-liter transfer case capacity as the 2.0 4WD, yet the normal-use change interval is 40,000 km rather than 80,000 km, placing the Ralliart on a more frequent replacement schedule under equivalent conditions.
  • Under severe use, the Lancer Ralliart (2008-2010) transfer case fluid is changed at 20,000 km, and no separate check interval is listed for that condition, unlike the normal-use specification which includes a 20,000 km check.
  • The 2011 Lancer Ralliart presents two distinct transfer case capacity figures within the same model year: 0.49 liter and 0.8 liter, indicating that two different transfer unit configurations were fitted during that year.
  • The 0.8-liter capacity represents a 63% increase over the 0.49-liter figure, a difference significant enough to suggest a physically larger or differently designed transfer assembly requiring a separate fill specification.
  • Both the 0.49-liter and 0.8-liter configurations of the 2011 Lancer Ralliart share identical service intervals: a 20,000 km check and 40,000 km change under normal use, and a 20,000 km change under severe use.
  • From 2012-2014, the Lancer Ralliart is listed exclusively with the 0.8-liter transfer case capacity, with normal-use fluid changes at 40,000 km and severe-use changes at 20,000 km, matching the 0.8-liter schedule established in 2011.
