Thx

That’s the correct oil for the differential. You could save yourself a ton of money by using Castrol Hypoy C or equivalent 80W-90. No need to change the washer unless it’s currently leaking. I’ve changed mine a few times already. Can also use Valvoline 80W-90 or Supertech (Yes Walmart!) full synth 75W-90. I’ve used all those on various vehicles with great results and a fraction of the price of that expensive Redline. Nice to see the thread and forum alive! I still commute my G35 now at 128,000mi on original clutch.

you can find it at perf. nissan's OEM parts site

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214252

just plug it into the search function on their site

They're like $2 each... cheap insurance...

Also I bought the redline mt-90 stuff for the trans (GL-4), as well as redline 75w-90 gear oil for the diff (exceeds GL-5)

The hyperlink no longer works, but the part number is still valid. It pulls right up on Amazon. A bag of 10 crush washers for $5.99. They are oil drain plug washers, but compatible with the manual transmission and I'm sure the rear diffy as well. I placed a bag on order today...
