I honestly don't know for sure. But i'll tell you this, since replacing the differential oil, the G has felt "light on its feet".

Makes me wonder if the dealership actually replaced it back when it was still under warranty at the 30k mark. It looked really bad when i drained it (i have a DIY with pics in that section).

I don't believe this is accurate. I replaced them when I did this, and they were definitely a "soft", conforming, crush-able type washer. I know they have a very humble job to do, so it's most likely passable to reuse, but I do think they ARE a crush washer.

^ could be the case where they are technically crush washers but they are quite hard compared to oil pan and seem near impossible to crush but are worth a change even imo cause they are so cheap but my local nissan dont carry them cause they said they dont change em. but ya for everyone who is to diy should change them

Anyone know if the front diff and transfer case washers are the same as the rear diff?? If not anyone know the part numbers. My Infiniti dealer is 40 miles away so I want to find them online.
