Additional Notes

  • The Toyota RAV4 A2 (EU) transfer case holds 0.9 liter of fluid across all listed engine variants and model year ranges, a relatively small capacity consistent with a compact transfer box unit rather than a full-size four-wheel-drive transfer case.
  • The 0.9 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the transfer box during a routine fluid change rather than a complete overhaul or dry-build assembly.
  • All five configurations share an identical change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving environments rather than demanding or off-road usage cycles.
  • The 48-month time limit on the change interval means that even when mileage accumulation is slow, the fluid is due for replacement once four years have elapsed, whichever threshold is reached first.
  • The 2.0 16V VVT-i petrol engine appears across three consecutive sub-ranges spanning 2000-2006, and all three carry the same 0.9 liter capacity and 30,000 km / 48-month interval, indicating no specification revision occurred across those production periods for the transfer case.
  • The 2.0 D4-D diesel variant, covering 2001-2006 across two sub-ranges, shares the same transfer case capacity and service interval as the petrol configurations, reflecting a common transfer box specification between the two engine families in the A2 generation.
