Additional Notes

  • The transfer case fluid capacity across all listed 4x4 configurations is 1.3 liters, which is a typical service fill volume for a transfer case of this class, meaning the unit is drained and refilled rather than fully disassembled for an overhaul procedure.
  • The Hyundai H-1 / Starex 2.5 CRDi 4x4 covering 2002-2007 carries a transfer case fluid change interval of 48,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 2.5 TCi 4x4 variant spanning 2003-2006 shares the same 1.3-liter capacity and 48,000 km / 24-month interval as the CRDi configuration, despite being a different engine type.
  • A separate 2.5 TCi 4x4 entry exists for 2006-2007, maintaining the same 1.3-liter fill volume and 48,000 km / 24-month service interval as the earlier TCi specification.
  • The 24-month time limit paired with the 48,000 km distance interval means fluid replacement is due on whichever threshold is reached first under normal operating conditions, making calendar-based servicing relevant for lower-mileage vehicles.
  • The consistent 1.3-liter transfer case capacity across the CRDi and both TCi entries indicates the same transfer case unit was used regardless of engine variant in the 4x4 lineup during the 2002-2007 period.
