Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Terracan HP (EU) front differential holds 1.8 liters across both the 2.5 TCI and 2.9 CRDI 16V engine variants, indicating a consistent housing size between the two drivetrains.
  • The rear differential capacity is rated at 2.8 liters for both engine variants, which is notably larger than the front differential's 1.8-liter fill volume, reflecting the greater size and load-bearing role of the rear axle assembly.
  • The limited slip rear differential shares the same 2.8-liter capacity as the standard rear differential across both engine variants, meaning the limited slip clutch pack does not alter the fluid volume requirement for the housing.
  • All six differential configurations across both engine variants share a single service interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 2.5 TCI variant covers model years 2001-2004, while the 2.9 CRDI 16V spans 2001-2007, meaning the longer-running engine variant carries the same differential fluid specifications throughout its extended production period.
  • The service interval is expressed as a fluid check rather than a fluid change, applying to all differential positions and both engine variants under normal use conditions at 15,000 km or 12 months.
