Nope, SVG for the rear diff.

4qts OEM Nissan Mulit-HQ 75w85 or Castrol SMX-S 75w85... Nulon also makes a 75w85 oil that would be interesting to try.

As for the diff, I'd stick with the Amsoil SVG, 2qts (or any other good 75w90 or 80w90 gear lube API GL5)

[QUOTE=hugquiimp;4758002]I accept with information:FSM states to pump the clutch pedal 5 times, hold it on the 5th, open and close bleeder screw, release pedal wait 5 seconds, and repeat. Since bleeding the clutch fluid is very similar to bleeding the brakes, see this article here for a detailed explanation.

In the video, I'm pretty sure you're disconnecting the line from the driver's side -- that must be the return line on whatever model year you're working on. I disconnected the one on the driver's side (of course, not verifying in the '06 service manual that that's the return line on my car) and sure enough, it's the send line on my '06 and it shot the pen out of the hose and sprayed fluid all over the floor. I used a lot of *'s on that one!

The moral: make sure that you verify what's what on your specific model, in addition to using Eugene's terrific and detailed videos. Your particular model may vary from the one he's working on. Happy DIY'ing!

Yeah, I'll have to update that video to include the info. Thanks for the contribution. I've only run into this problem one time actually, it was on an M45.
