Additional Notes

  • The Kia Sorento BL/JC (EU) transfer case holds 1.42 liters of fluid across both the 2.4 and 2.5 CRDi engine variants, a capacity figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.4 petrol transfer case is subject to a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.4 petrol transfer case carries a fluid change interval of 100,000 km, which is a notably extended drain period relative to the check-only schedule applied under normal conditions.
  • The 2.5 CRDi transfer case shares the same 1.42-liter capacity as the 2.4 petrol variant and follows the same normal-use check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months.
