[@bengonzalez8706]

Great job! Thanks for showing me how it's done, now I can get the Differential Oil, Gasket Glue, and the pressure torque gauge. Thanks.

Thank you!

Remove fill plug first for quicker drain

[@RazorBucks]

You should always loosen the fill plug first, I am sorry if I did not go over that. I did not remove it completely, because I was trying to avoid misplacing the plug. The expand on this question and m statement above, you need to ensure you can remove the fill bolt before the drain the oil. Yes it will make drain slightly faster by removing the bolt completely, I am prone to misplacing or hitting things while laying on my back and I just try to make it easier for me to get everything put back together in the correct spot. Thank you for the comment and have a great day.

great videos!! thank you for your input it helps a lot.

[@zwebslinger3526]

Wish I would have listened to your final thoughts. I saw you had two quarts sitting there and thought that'd suffice. It definitely takes three. (2000 SE V6 3.3)

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for the reply.

[@MisledDan]

For the long beds, lowering the spare tire won't be necessary while filling because it's spaced out further

[@vermontvermont9292]

Just did mine. Took 2 3/4 quarts

[@familiahuapeleon2937]

Hi have question is same proces to Frontier 00 4 cil .also same oil have 420 k

[@RazorBucks]

Yes. Just check if you has LSD or not.

[@gerz1920]

I have a 2001 nissan frontier king cab similar to yours, but I have a problem it uses a lot of gas .. 180 miles per tank .. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

[@MrStapleduck]

Knock sensor

[@kelvinbrooks9588]

Great video my man! Job well done! Thank you alot!!

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for the support. Have a great day.

[@Vdub1910]

Is this the same for an 04 xterra xe v6 3.3L

[@RazorBucks]

It should be similar, they share the same platform. However, I am not 100% sure.

[@tokenn1822]

Would you recommend putting anti seize on the fill and drain bolts?

[@RazorBucks]

Honestly, I would recommend OEM replacement bolts, but that is expensive. I personally used gasket maker on my bolts in an OEM style and it worked.

[@tokenn1822]

@@RazorBucks I mean using anti seize on the threads so the next time it would be easier to unscrew. I know I've seen some videos where the put anti seize on spark plug threads so it would be easier to remove the next change. What do you think?

[@RazorBucks]

@@tokenn1822 I apologize, I misread your question. I did not use it, but I do not think it would hurt. I have never used it myself on anything.

[@tokenn1822]

@@RazorBucks Thanks! I just bought an '03 with 111,000 miles on it. I'll be doing a lot of this kind of thing over the next few weekends and your videos help out so much!

[@gabrielbaria]

Did you lift up the rear end? Back up ramps or put the truck on jacks?

[@RazorBucks]

If I recall correctly, I did put the passenger side on jack stands, but only because my driveway is on a slope.

[@walterortega2162]

@Razorbucks good afternoon. Do you know if I could use this oil to change the differential oil on my Manual transmission 2001 Nissan Frontier XE ?

[@RazorBucks]

You should be fine, but if you still have your vehicle manual, I would recommend going to the Fluids and Capacity section and it will state there what type you can use and the amount needed.

[@walterortega2162]

Ok 👌 I don’t have one but I will find out by calling the dealership. Thanks

[@RazorBucks]

@@walterortega2162 I will check my manual today and let you know.

[@walterortega2162]

Razor Bucks so I called the dealership and they told me to use 80 90w GL-5 additive LSD but i forgot to ask how much fluid to use . I will check to see if I could get a manual from google. I appreciate it. I like your videos their very useful.

[@festerallday]

On mine the 1/2in drive is too small. It's more like. 13 or 14mm

[@jaygarcia1638]

Is it bad to use 75w90 instead of 80w90?

[@RazorBucks]

It should be fine, but listen for any new noises.

[@briansantos2206]

Couldn’t you have just used teflon tape instead of rtv?

[@RazorBucks]

RTV is recommended by the factory service manual. I am not sure tape would work, given that it breaks down easily.

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for the reply.

[@festerallday]

Teflon does not hold up against heat or oils with detergents.

[@Mr.Fabrication007]

He said bottles of LSD liquid...... 😜🤯lol

[@RazorBucks]

I see your humor there. 😀

[@philc.9280]

Its only takes about 1.5 bottles to do a differential change on my 2015 Frontier. You must have spilled a whole bottle man.

[@RazorBucks]

What I put in there is what it requires. However, I have an 02 and you have a 15, could be the difference.

[@philc.9280]

@B Rad Yes they only come in quart bottles at the store. I guess I've seen gallon jugs but that's mainly for car shops. For my 2015 Frontier the change was a little more than 1.5 as I have less than half a bottle left. It's easier if you lower the spare tire but do not have to remove it, just push it over. Very simple job

[@MR-gl1fs]

Easier to use a oil pump to add the new oil in.

[@RazorBucks]

I would agree with that.
