Mitsubishi Space gear (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Space gear (EU) transfer case fluid capacity is 2,3 liters. Service intervals include checking every 15000 km or 12 months and changing every 45000 km or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,3 liter
  • Check 15000 km/ 12 months
  • Change 45000 km/ 36 months
Space Gear 2.5 TD 4WD (1994-2000)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,3 liter
  • Check 15000 km/ 12 months
  • Change 45000 km/ 36 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the 2.4 4WD and 2.5 TD 4WD variants of the Mitsubishi Space Gear (EU) share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 2.3 liters, indicating a consistent transferbox design across the petrol and turbodiesel engine configurations covered in the 1994-2000 range.
  • A 2.3-liter fluid capacity in a transfer case is a moderate fill volume, typical of a part-time or full-time 4WD unit found in van-based vehicles, where the transferbox distributes torque between front and rear axles.
  • The check interval for transfer case fluid is set at 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the 2.4 and 2.5 TD 4WD configurations.
  • The fluid change interval is specified at 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid is changed once for every three inspection cycles completed at the 15,000 km or 12-month mark.
  • The ratio of check interval to change interval is 1:3, so three inspection points occur before a full drain and refill of the 2.3-liter transferbox is due, regardless of whether the 2.4 petrol or 2.5 TD engine is fitted.
