Nope but I've used that in the transmission by recommendation from a friend. It worked well in his G35 and my 350Z.

I'm assuming you're changing it this frequently because you track the car?

Anyone know if we can get away with using a non-Nissan washer? Every dealership around me needs to order the part and I wanted to do my diff/trans this weekend.

You could use a regular copper/al crush washer since Nissan doesn't have any.
We sell them HERE if you are stuck on the Nissan washer. If this is your first time you can probably get away with not changing it because it is a solid crush washer. This is not a guarantee it wont leak but 99% of the time you can get away with reusing it as long as it wasn't damaged or over-tightened. |

So I have 11k miles on my car, changing the diff oil next weekend. I just saw this thread and the nasty oil coming out at just 4kmiles and it got me thinking..Should I have changed it before?

It's too late now, just do it and see what comes out of it. The diff fluid is only a lubrication for the gears anyway, I don't think it changes the LSD since the LSD is in a sealed unit inside. I guess you can argue it can cool the LSD unit better as the fluid soaked in it can have a lower temp. Personally I will change it again at 6500 miles and see what it looks like. SInce I already have all the tools, the parts really only cost me $25 (2 quarts of 75W90 GL-5 fluid)

for me yes. i would say not more than 2 years for most people. personally i am going to make a more definitie judgement at the next change as nissan might have crappy fluids too. amsoil are rated for 100k miles, but i will see how it handles 200 autox runs a year
