By the way trough the adventure I went with the dealer I found at least my closest dealer uses Pennzoil 80W-90 NON SYNTHETIC (they claim thats what Nissan send them) and just for curiosity I asked how much was the differential oil since the one they had wasnt synthetic. I hope all of you reading this are sitdown on a chair and please grab the arm rest so you don't get an stress attack.

The guy flipped the monitor to me and says "this is the one that Nissan recommends Synthetic Blend Nissan Hypoid $140 per qt"

I ran away and got me two bottles of Valvoline 80W-90 GL5 for $8.99 per qt.

Yes, it's very common for Nissan to use unicorn blood as an additive in their recommended fluids.
