Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Sienna XL30 transfer case fluid capacity is 0.8 liter across all listed configurations, spanning both the GSL35 engine code variants from 2011-2016 and the non-coded variants from 2016-2020, for both USA and CAN markets. A capacity at this level is typical of a compact transfer case service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • Canadian-market 4WD variants carry a "first check only" interval of 32,000 km or 24 months, which is a one-time inspection point separate from the recurring normal and severe schedules. No equivalent first-check-only entry appears in the USA-market rows.
  • Under normal use conditions, the Canadian-market 3.5 V6 24V 4WD specifies a transfer case fluid check at 16,000 km or 12 months. The USA-market equivalent sets that same check interval at 15,000 miles or 18 months, reflecting a difference in both distance and time thresholds between the two markets.
  • Under severe use conditions, the Canadian-market specification adds a fluid change at 32,000 km or 24 months on top of the 16,000 km or 12-month check interval. The USA-market severe specification replaces the check with a fluid change at 15,000 miles or 18 months, meaning the action type differs between markets under the same use condition.
  • The USA-market normal use rows specify only a fluid check at 15,000 miles or 18 months, with no change interval listed. In contrast, the severe use rows for the same USA-market configurations specify a fluid change at that same 15,000-mile or 18-month mark, with no separate check listed alongside it.
  • The GSL35 engine code designation appears in both the 2011-2016 USA and CAN rows. Capacity and interval values for the GSL35-coded rows are identical to the corresponding non-coded 2016-2020 rows within each market, meaning the engine code notation does not correspond to any difference in transfer case fluid specifications.
