Suzuki LJ/SJ

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Suzuki LJ/SJ transfer case fluid capacity ranges from 0,7 to 0,9 liters. Service intervals include checking every 10000 km or 6 months and changing every 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki LJ80 transfer case holds 0.9 liters of fluid, which is the largest capacity among the three configurations listed and reflects the fill volume for a standard service rather than a full overhaul.
  • The SJ410 transferbox has a capacity of 0.7 liters, the smallest of the three, while the SJ413 sits between the two at 0.8 liters.
  • All three configurations share an identical check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The fluid change interval is consistent across the LJ80, SJ410, and SJ413, each calling for a replacement at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • The SJ413 spans a production window from 1984-1998, the longest of the three model ranges, yet carries the same check and change intervals as the earlier LJ80 and SJ410 configurations.
  • The LJ80 and SJ410 model ranges overlap between 1981-1983, during which both transferbox capacities were in use simultaneously, at 0.9 liters and 0.7 liters respectively.
