Thank you for explaining everything extremely well. Barton’s Nissan Capalaba (Brisbane suburb) didn’t want to work on my 2010 D40 Thai dual cab. Doing everything myself.
Your most welcome glad can help. My issues were couldn't afford to pay stupid money for easy procedures. I found little content out there though and thought lets fix that i will be dping more videos as i work on more stuff on my ute.
Thanks for the video. Been wanting to learn about changing oil change on my D22 YD25 manual. About to install front Locker so mechanic will do its oil change, as he already changed the rear diff one. But I will do the gear box. Will rewatch this video. Cheers mate. Cheers
@@TheCvele1974 3/8 anvil on the rachet was abit wobbly on my cheap one so got my sidcrombe out and fit snug on it. Just go easy and apply firm pressure don't use impact guns as can round the plug easy.
Hey pal, thanks for the video. One question. Why you recommend oil change every 30 K, especially for the front differential? Taking into account that the Navara is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
That's the recommendation from the manufacturer. Plus the front differential on the D40 has a thinner walled housing than most other brands. Due to this they are known to blow easily when not maintained within manufacture specifications.
the fill plug removal is also best remove first to check the level, not sure why they have different plugs through the drivetrain, not logical! Great Vid, just out of curiosity how you found those Toyo tires, I didn't catch the style of?
They were snow terrain Toyo and they were crap haha I'm running wild peaks. I did remove the full plugs to help drain but was just doing a oil change so didn't really need to check level as was topping it up and cheers mate :).
I have two sources one is a typical workshop manual like this one: haynes.com/en-au/nissan/pathfinder/2005-2015-petrol?selector=bundle&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7uSkBhDGARIsAMCZNJvcrHAuPJpdfX4ap7k5bC4wClpR6NGCXb7OM5Q6qnC5X5ffCTG10vMaAnxlEALw_wcB And I have a Nissan manufacturers manual that they send to Nissan dealerships and production work floors. I got my copy for free from YD25.com.au they had a pdf to download it's way more in-depth then the Haynes manual and comes in handy for rebuilds. But either way both tourqe settings are in both.
Unfortunately you will do damage to your gearbox if you mix oils those type of oils together. This is because overall viscosity will change and won't lubricate your gears effectively. You can use all 75w90 however though it's not recommended by the manufacturer it won't damage your gear box long term as sometimes Nissan will use it themselves if they don't have 75w-85. You might come across harsh gear changes on start up as it has a higher working temperature what U can do is warm up your car on idle before driving to allow passive heat transfer from motor to gearbox. This may make changing into first easier a 5min warm up should help. However if you don't come across this quirk that's fine as well as not all gearboxes do this running 75w-90 and of course it's location dependant, as hotter climate you most likely not have this issue vs colder. I hope this helps :)
Hey mate does the rear drain plug have a washer or something on it? I had pieces of something stuck to my plug and not sure if I can put the plug back in or if it needs a washer or something??
@@tomhiggins4584 I would definitely open the diff up and check it hasn't got damaged it's not hard to open it up and re seal it but if you find metal it is a bad sign.
Hey mate I’ve got a 2011 d40 it’s 2.5auto do these oils sound right to you Engine-5w-40 Front axle- 80w-90 Transfer case-75w-85 Transmission- dx-111 Diff-80w-140
The transfer case is genuine Nissan D automatic transmission fluid or equivalent 2L capacity. If you have an LSD rear diff its 80w-90 gl5 genuine Nissan hypoid differential oil LSD 2L capacity. If it's a standard rear diff then your oil is correct, best way to test is if you have a lsd jack up the rear. Until the tires are off the ground and spin one wheel if both wheels spin then you have a LSD diff. Automatic trans uses Nissan Matic J automatic trans fluid or equivalent 10.3L capacity. all your oils do seem to be the equivalent to genuine Nissan normally the label will list all the car brands their specs match to.
All the oils used on my car are picked from the factory specifications. Which can change depending on the environment you live in such as Europe & Asia but generally viscosity is always the same, it's just the working temps is what changes. But also your build can vary the oils needed if you have a Spain or thai build year, and parts used in your car, all these can vary I would really double check your manual and match with year make and model. Also the online pick my car options that automotive supplies such as in Australia Supercheap can have multiple ranges of oils that day fit your car however they show the full range and can get it wrong. Factory manuals are always the safest specs to go by as these cars were built and tested and manufacturered to run in these oils unless you have aftermarket parts fitted of course.
To answer your question more directly this is the factory specs listed below. Standard differential (non LSD) 75W-140 API GL-5 Synthetic, capacity 2.0L LSD 80w-90 GL-5 Genuine Nissan Hypoid differential oil LSD or arftermarket equivalent, capacity 2.0L

I cant see myself ever going back to a dealer. Stopped the moment my Navara was out of warranty.
What kind of oil are you using?

@@j01HUNTER couldn't see or hear what square key size did you use for rear diff plug with that 3/8 drive wrench - is it 7 mm?

Hi I know that this is a old video, but i wondering where you got the torque settings from ?,
I have two sources one is a typical workshop manual like this one: haynes.com/en-au/nissan/pathfinder/2005-2015-petrol?selector=bundle&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7uSkBhDGARIsAMCZNJvcrHAuPJpdfX4ap7k5bC4wClpR6NGCXb7OM5Q6qnC5X5ffCTG10vMaAnxlEALw_wcB
And I have a Nissan manufacturers manual that they send to Nissan dealerships and production work floors.

@@j01HUNTER Thankyou very much for getting back to me with this info , cheers
In the gearbox, if I put half 75w90 and half 75w80, will that work ok? It's just where I am, 75w85 is quite scarce.
Unfortunately you will do damage to your gearbox if you mix oils those type of oils together. This is because overall viscosity will change and won't lubricate your gears effectively.

Na there's no washer on it as it's a insert plug instead like the oil sump that's more like a bolt
@@j01HUNTER thanks heaps man, would the bits of metal be any concern, I noticed your front had similar on the plug?
@@tomhiggins4584 I would definitely open the diff up and check it hasn't got damaged it's not hard to open it up and re seal it but if you find metal it is a bad sign.
Penrite is the best!
Running it ATM as it's only option out country but nurlon is a pretty good option as well wouldn't recommend any other brand apart from those two
Hey mate I’ve got a 2011 d40 it’s 2.5auto do these oils sound right to you Engine-5w-40

In your Vid u say use 80w-140 .Iv got a D40 07 and it says for LSD use 80w-90 in rear diff . And for standard type use 75w-140 so is this correct .
