Mitsubishi Space gear (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Space gear (EU) differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,9 to 1,8 liters. Service intervals include checks at 15000 to 30000 km or 12 to 24 months and changes at 45000 to 90000 km or 36 to 72 months. The data covers 9 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Space Gear (EU) rear differential fluid capacity varies by engine variant, ranging from 1.2 liters in the 2.0 to 1.6 liters in the 2.4 and 2.5 TD, and reaching 1.8 liters in all 4WD rear differentials across both the 2.4 4WD and 2.5 TD 4WD configurations.
  • The 2.0 rear differential holds 1.2 liters, which is the smallest rear differential capacity across all listed variants and reflects a smaller axle assembly relative to the larger-engined models.
  • All 4WD variants carry an additional front differential requiring 0.9 liters of fluid, a separate service point not present on the two-wheel-drive configurations.
  • Front differentials on both the 2.4 4WD and 2.5 TD 4WD are subject to a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use, which is twice as frequent as the 30,000 km or 24-month check interval specified for all listed rear differentials.
  • Despite the more frequent check schedule, the front differential fluid change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months matches the change interval applied to all standard rear differentials across the lineup.
  • Limited slip rear differentials on both the 2.4 4WD and 2.5 TD 4WD share the same 1.8-liter capacity as the standard rear differentials in those same configurations, meaning the capacity alone does not distinguish the two differential types.
  • The limited slip rear differential fluid change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use is exactly half the 90,000 km or 72-month interval specified for standard rear differentials, reflecting the more demanding lubrication requirements of a limited slip unit.
  • No fluid check interval is listed for the limited slip rear differential variants on either the 2.4 4WD or 2.5 TD 4WD, whereas standard rear differentials across all configurations carry an explicit check interval of 30,000 km or 24 months.
