75W-140 gear oil. The book calls for 80W-90. (I think they use the 75W-140 in the GTR and Titan). Did they make a mistake or is Nissan recommending this weight now? Thanks for any input.
hmmm, well, I don't think nissan has changed out the specs for the diff fluid recently, so I'd lean towards the service tech putting in the wrong oil.

That said, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm actually going to be swapping rear diff fluid very shortly and will be running motul 75w 140 myself as per forged performance's recommendation since our rear diffs run so damn hot, esp under track conditons.
