Excellent video, thanks. Time to do my 300K mile Frontier.

[@NEXTDIRECTIONSTUDIOS]

You didn't include a link to purchase the crush washer

[@ozzstars_cars]

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

[@HowtoAutomotive]

That would be nice!

You had a lot of room to work in there. That was nice for filming. So many people never think about the drive train. Nicely done Brian.

[@bw6138]

I had an oil change recently and they told me that I needed this done.

[@cyberknife82]

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

[@blairbreaks9521]

What year do you have. Owners manual says 75w-90 on my 2014

What size was the crush washer? I don't see it in the comments, thanks.

[@s.benedetto2147]

Well done and clearly described video. Nice job.

[@mrdarklight]

Nice video. It looks a lot easier than I thought.

[@mpezzano1]

Very clear and informative thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@killertofu]

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

[@gibbsmeedat3954]

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

[@henrywolford7744]

🙂 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.

Great video. Thank you

[@kpdvw]

Thanks for the heads up , I was wondering regular or syn gear oil...!

What is the year make and model of this Frontier?

[@steppydaddy972]

Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated.

[@mereskimade]

Super quick, great vid!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

SVTake2 thank you for watching!

[@carlosrangel3970]

Does the front differential take the same oil?

[@StuffMeDaddy89]

Thank you

Thank you for this vid

[@Cyemese]

Very good video. Sadly the Frontier I'm working on requires a square bit. 😂

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It’s always something. Thank you for watching!

[@northernspur6282]

My 2006 manual 6 speed has what looks like a 1/2” or 12-13mm square not hexagon plugs ?

[@aarongray503]

Are crush washers universal?

[@wyldman8211]

How often would I do this on a Nissan Frontier Pro-4X?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Normal use once a year.

[@agustinvazquez3266]

@@HowtoAutomotive thank you for the video. I just changed the breather. I might as well change the oil too. 13 Pro4x has has been too good to me.

[@shaun2049]

[@Josejjgonzalez]

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.

[@truenorthmuskoka9077]

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]

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.

[@jackmacdonald8598]

The magnet on end of my drain plug was snapped off and laying on bottom of pan! I had to take cover off to retrieve!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

That’s crazy I’ve never seen that.

Cure time?

[@sistercalhoun4444]

GREAT HOW TO VIDEO !!!!! MADE IT JUST LIKE CHRISFIX VIDEO ?

[@faisalalzahim4166]

GL5 ?

[@sistercalhoun4444]

DO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR A 2010 NISSAN FRONTIER HAVE A DIFFERENTIAL GEAR ? AND WILL I CHANGE IT THE SAME WAY IF SO ?

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

All rear wheel drive vehicles have differentials buddy!
