Thanks Dude !

[@s.benedetto2147]

Nice video. What's your opinion on using a thread sealant like Loctite Red on the fill plug? Since it has no washer, is that a good idea or not?

[@RideWNC]

Red is bad for most applicatioins. It is not needed.It does not leak.

[@s.benedetto2147]

@@RideWNC Sorry. I meant the Loctite Blue 243 sealant (oil resistant)?

[@RideWNC]

@@s.benedetto2147 It will not leak.

Changed fluid on my 2011 Frontier about 5 years ago & was first diff. fluid change, now ready again. Question, do i need a new crush washer or would it be ok & next Diff. Chamge replace then? Ihave 151k maintained miles. No leaks

[@RideWNC]

If it is a brass Nissan crush, rreplace it. If it is an aluminum crush it should be good.

How often should one change the rear differential oil on a Nissan?

what oil viscocity should i use for nissan frontier 2020 diesel for the gearbox and the differential fluid ?

[@RideWNC]

You gotta go by what your manual says. I find Nissan uses different fluid in the rear from the front. I don't want to give you the wrong answer. I will say, if you have 4x4, very important to regularly replace the fluid in the transfer case.

Where did you get little pump bottle?

[@RideWNC]

Lubrimatic Pump. Usually at Marine Stores. eBay. New Gear Oil comes in a squeezable tube. much easier. Valvoline at Wal Mart.

What size socket did you use for filling plug

[@RideWNC]

Looks like 12mm for the drain and 14mm for the fill.

Great video. I’m trying to find a square 14mm male socket and can’t seem to source one. Can you recommend a manufacturer/Amazon link?
