Additional Notes

  • Both AWD configurations in the Volvo S60 Inscription 138 share a rear differential fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, which is a relatively small volume consistent with a compact rear drive module rather than a traditional axle housing.
  • The 2.0 T5 AWD, covering model years 2016-2018, carries only a capacity figure of 0.7 liter under normal use conditions, with no interval specification listed for rear differential fluid.
  • The 2.5 T5 AWD, covering model years 2015-2016, pairs the same 0.7 liter capacity with a 20,000-mile check interval under normal use conditions, making the service schedule explicit for that engine configuration.
  • The 20,000-mile check interval on the 2.5 T5 AWD refers to a fluid level inspection rather than a drain-and-fill, which is a common practice for sealed or low-maintenance rear drive modules where fluid consumption is expected to be minimal.
  • The overlap year of 2016 saw both the 2.0 T5 AWD and the 2.5 T5 AWD available simultaneously, yet only the 2.5 T5 AWD carries a defined check interval, meaning the two engines differ in their documented rear differential service schedules despite sharing the same fluid capacity.
