    Wouldn't it be nice if every differential had a drain plug? What a bright idea.

    Just did my transfer case and transmission fluid this weekend. If you have the 4X4 you use the 75W - 140 for the rear differential.

    🙂 Loved the video and bought a 10mm and 14mm hex key to do the job as you suggested. Unfortunately, once I got under my Frontier it has SQUARE holes for the plugs. Don't know why my Frontier is different. Fortunately, the holes are close enough to 1/2 inch that I was able to use my half inch drive ratchet handles and the change went smoothly. Maybe someday I will find a use for the two keys I bought and cannot return.

    My brother-in-law had a nice 1999 F150 he used for towing for his mechanic business and on the highway his differential totally effed up. I need to do this to my Nissan Frontier before such mistake.

    At 90k, should i just leave trans oil and rear diff oil alone? Is it too late or should i do both still now ? Never been done before and use truck as daily driver. No off road or super hard driving

      I'm not a mechanic, but I would change the diff fluid and do a series of dump and fills with the trans.

    i drained my diff and the oil was like chocolate milk. I dont do any off roading or driving in deep water. Any idea how water may have got in. I installed a new vent extended into the rear tail light with a filter on the end just to avoid water.

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The only way for water I’m oyster to get in there is through the vent on top of the differential. The hose is probably missing.
