Additional Notes

  • Both the LT 45 2.4 and the LT 45 2.4 Turbo Diesel in 4x4 configuration share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, covering model years 1990-1996.
  • A transfer case capacity of 2.2 liters is a service fill figure, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the unit during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • The Volkswagen LT 45 transfer case fluid specification applies under normal use conditions, which in fluid service contexts refers to standard operating environments without the additional mechanical stress associated with severe-duty cycles.
  • The 4x4 designation on both the 2.4 and 2.4 Turbo Diesel variants indicates the presence of a transfer case as a distinct drivetrain component, which is why a separate fluid capacity entry exists independent of the gearbox or axle specifications.
