Good find! Thanks

Make sure they do it under warranty! If you read the bulletin they may charge you to change the rear end! It should be for free!

Does the 05 manual say to use the syn on the fron diffs also?

Don't know the spec. on the 05' Curious to see what the put in the front diff on the 05's

Figured it was just a matter of time before Nissan made it official on the 75W-140 synth for the 04's. I'm running that weight now (Mob1) in my rear diff, and have switched to 75W-90 Mob1 in the front. I figure the front doesn't see the same duty as the rear, so I didn't up the weight. Also running Mob1 ATF in the xfer case, and Mob1 5W-30 in the motor. Truck runs smoother and has better acceleration.

Now if Nissan would issue a bulletin stating they are replacing all the rear diff covers on the 04's with the nice finned aluminum ones on the 05's......I'd be even happier!

When in 4 x 4 mode and pulling heavy.......I would think the fron diffie works about the same as the rear diffie..........and that is why I switched to 75-140W in both a while ago.

Yeah, I thought about it, Tom, but I never tow anything so I'm not worried about it. Plus, just switching the front to 75W-90 synthetic should give me pretty good protection in the front since it doesn't break down as easily as standard gear oil.

Just replaced mine last week with 75w 140 in both diffs and went to Mobil 1 on motor at 1500 miles.

the 05's are API GL-5 SAE 80W-90 Gear oil for the front and API GL-5 Synthetic 75W-140 Gear oil for the rear.
