Additional Notes

  • The Oldsmobile Bravada (USA / CAN) with the 4.2-liter engine carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 1.9 liters for the 2002-2003 model years, whether in standard or AWD configuration.
  • For the 2004 model year, the rear differential fluid capacity on the 4.2-liter engine drops to 1.7 liters across both standard and AWD configurations, representing a reduction compared to the earlier 2002-2003 specification.
  • The front differential on the 4.2 AWD configuration holds 0.8 liters, a notably smaller volume than the rear differential, which reflects the front unit's more compact housing and limited mechanical role in the drivetrain layout.
  • The 0.8-liter front differential capacity remains unchanged between the 2002-2003 and 2004 model years on the AWD variant, while the rear differential capacity does shift between those same year groups.
  • All six configurations across the 2002-2004 range share a uniform check interval of 7,500 miles under normal use conditions, meaning no configuration calls for a more frequent inspection schedule than another.
  • The specifications list a check interval rather than a change interval for all configurations, which indicates the service action at 7,500 miles is an inspection of fluid level and condition rather than a scheduled drain and refill.
