Great Video. Dropping the spare tire only takes a few minutes, but it eliminates the need to create an extension for the rear drain. Any extension works when the tire is out of the way. Rear was easy thanks to this video. The front fill plug is giving me trouble. Canadian winters have left it rusted so the 10mm wont even go in. Will clean it up the best I can and go back under another day.
Yes, your correct it wouldve been easier to remove the spare tire... but i was trying to show you dont have to remove it if you choose not too.
If your having trouble with the front diff try using lubricant and tighten and losen the bolt. The back and fourth will help break it free.
Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching.
Same thing happened to me and I was thinking to myself: Do I have the right size hex? 'cause 9mm won't go in but 8mm is loose for the bolt. Imma find a way to clean it bc it's really tight space for the front T case.
Thanks. Really appreciate the hard work to make videos and save money for fellow car owners.
Its comments like this, that make me keep making videos. Thank you for watching and consider subscribing.
Thanks for the video. For rear, I removed the spare tire, I use a fonel and hoses. For the front, I fill the oil with a long hose from the up side of the engine. Regards from MEXICO!
Thanks for watching and letting us all know another way of completing the filling process!
Helps a ton thanks!
That's Awesome to hear. How did you find the process? Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.
Thanks so much for the video ( my dealer here asked 240$ for transfer case and read differential oil/fluid , car has 69 k miles right now , so I think I shut do it myself and be cheaper
Fluid costs were about 40.00 if you dont go to the dealer and another 20.00 ish for the syringe. beats 240.00 for sure and its pretty easy process. Thanks for watching
Could you make a video about how to change the front differential fluid if possible? I would very much appreciate that. The dealer change my transfer case fluid and front+rear diff fluid for 350. I know the dealer replaced the drain and fill plugs for the rear diff and I guess they did for the front diff too. That alone is $140 according to the Nissan parts store. They also replaced the washers for the t case drainage and fill plugs according to the invoice.
I recently learned that the transaxle has the front diff coupled with the CVT.
Very helpful
Thank you
Is it possible to do the transfer case part without the car being elevated (on the ground)?
Can I use for front and rear both 75w-90 Mobil 1 synthetic? I have 2 bottles of there… don’t wanna buy a 80w-90 if can use it… thoughts,?
I wouldnt use the same fluid for both front and rear, because it was designed for 2 different fluids probably due to the level of demand each one is under.
My suggestion is to buy the proper fluid for each. I know it kinda sucks but it will be the right choice to maintain your vehicle for longer life. Plus it should give you enought to be able to complete this fluid change one more time.
I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this video? What is the bolts torque?
I looked around and i wasn't able to get a 100% answer to give you. But i normally do snug fairly tight, but not too much. similar to an oil drain plug.
What i did see it was somewhere in the 20 to 25 ft lbs but i cant say for sure.
Anyways i hope this helps. I would say snug it down and check for leaks if it is tighten slightly more.
What tool did you use to loosen the transfer case fill plug? There's no room to fit my 3/8" drive rachet in there and turn.
In the beginning of the video i showed some tools required. 2:43 I show what i used in the front. I purchased a narrow head 3/8" ratchet with a long handle. because i could get enough torque to remove the screw. The narrow head helped a bit getting it into the space. You will need the 10mm hex head bit.
I hope this helps a bit. I know there can be some creative way to get it done as well. for me i just bought something because it was quicker and easier for me. Plus picking up another very useful tool is great. lol.
Thanks for watching.
@@TDLDIY Thanks for the quick reply! I figured I had all the right tools but had no idea how little room there actually is in the transfer case!
Is this a similar process to the 2017 Nissan Qashqai? Thank you
I cant say for certain but the process would be similar to most vehicles that have all wheel drive. For example my ATV is similar process just the fluid type or quantity might be different.
I hope this answers your questions.
What was your mileage?
when i removed fill plug in the front fluid started to coming out is it normal ?
Yes, that can be very normal. I filled it to the recommended amount. But lot of people fill it till fluid comes out and installs the fill plug.
did you syringe for injecting in both the front and back?
Yes, I did.
How big is the syringe? Where did you purchase it and do you have a link?
Its 16 oz. The link to amazon is here
Arcan Professional Tools Suction Gun Transparent Body and Ribbed Nozzle, 16 OZ Chamber Capacity (ASTSG)

Explanation of the rear diff was great. Explanation of the front TF was extremely incomplete.
