brilliant pump idea. i made one to decant my fuel on the canning stock route. save all the huffing and puffing dragging fuel around and spilling it. i just put the hose in, raised the air pressure and ...job done. the guys on the trip with me said this is called a tanami pump.
According to the Haynes manual. My 5 speed manual transmission (FS5R50B) on my 2010 Patrol ST 3.0L CRD takes 3.5L SAE 75W-90 GL4 oil. I drained the gearbox on level ground and got a little over 4L in mine before she started spewing out the fill hole. The automatic 4-speed takes 12.0L of Nissan Matic D or Dexron III. The automatic 5-speed takes 11.0L of Nissan Matic J.
Thanx for uploading this great video mate. I paid $20 for the hand oil pump to pump the diff/gear oil. Its a bitch of a thing to operate with thick oil and takes ages to pump all the oil into diff/gearbox, etc. On the other hand, I could've made this simple device of your for few dollar and save lot of time and energy in the process. The pressure pump bottle is pretty useful regardless of we use a manual hand/foot pump or 12V electric pump. Ingenious and simple. It takes a fair bit creativity to come up with something that's already been around but not used much in backyards.
+dom ari Yeah at the time I didn't realise that the hand oil pump existed! And I had already drained my oil so there was no running down to the auto parts shop for me. I just threw that together with what I had laying around haha! It sure does work quite nicely.
Intents Offroad Yeah mate, that's the beauty of it. Sometime it helps not knowing too much about the crap available in parts shops, so your creativity can flourish. I'm honestly really embarrassed that this didn't cross my mind, since I have all the bits and pieces to make it in a short time. But, the reason is obvious. You have to have a certain Macgyver mind set to come up with ideas. The way I did the diff('cos I got sick of the hand pump bottle) was, I raised the rear of the vehicle on ramp and used a long hose with a funnel attached to it. Another messy way of doing it. :) Not to mention, that method is not all that handy with the gearbox oil filling. :)
No worries about your rear transfer case... look at it this way, you now have an excuse to get bigger wheels/tires since you are going to have to regear the rear end eventually! Great video!
Do more of theseeee! Your video's are awesome mate. I do have a question which was a portion missed in the video, where do you fill the Gearbox? and do you fill it FULL or JUST the amount? Forums say just fill it to full it doesnt matter but thought id ask you? p.s keep making them!! haha.
+LordEthan2 thanks mate! glad you're enjoying them and thanks for alerting me to the bit I missed, I'll put a little note on the video. The fill plug for the gearbox is the same type as the rest of them and is located on the right hand side, about half way up the gearbox. You fill it full, or to just below the bottom of the filler hole as well.
Very nice chanel, Please give me a link , where you changed your injectors. I will do by my self and also spark plug. I have a nissan patrol TB48 gasoline Automatic 2002. I started to do every maintenance by myself so your videos are wonderfull,
I would have put fully synthetic 75w-140 LS GL-5 in the diffs. Gearbox and transfercase would have gotten 75w-90 GL4 fully synthetic. Lower drivetrain temps and seals that last longer. Also your diffs and gearbox will love this. Nice setup for filling up the oils. On mu UTE they recommended dextron 3 in transfer case, I filled it up with 75w-90 GL4 fully synthetic and it is a lot quieter.
Hi Alex, great job on Videos. My car is a Zd30 2001 auto. Can you chip in some advice and steps to change oil of gear box and transfer case, and info on type of oil and quantity required, Appreciate very much mate.
+Jonathan Adami I give it a bit of a wipe out with a rag is all. Once I'm done the entire job I soak a rag in a bit of wax and grease remover or similar solvent and that cleans it right up.
I own a 2010 Nissan Patrol Safari GL Trim which has an autmatic transmission and a 4.8 L inline 6 petrol engine. Around 4 months ago I took my car to the mechanic and he put around 6 L of differential oil into the front differential and a month after that my car would randomly feel heavy and its tachometer wouldn't pass 2 RPM and when steering it always made a screeching sound. I then discovered that it requiresn1.5 L of differential oil instead of the 6 and after making that change my car drove smoothly again and the screeching sound when turning the steering wheel disappeared.
+Alice Tocher legit question. Should have mentioned that! Drain and filler plugs often seem to be seized for whatever reason, so it's just making sure you can get the fill plug out before you drain it all and realise you can't drive anywhere if the filler plug won't move.
Finally found a vid that shows kingpin removal as I need to put a 1deg offset camber cap on and could find no info how to do it. And your right im being a lazy basterd and cheating to get the outside bolts out lol
What socket, tool do you use to undo the plug's,,,, sump, diff etc ? A ordinary breaker bar is a bit small, (.5 inch) there must be a proper tool. :) Cheers.
Hi there l have a 2015 patrol 3.0l diesel,can you tell me where you got your meserments for your oils and the types you needed. Is there a web site for this information.
+Larry Guilfoyle hey dude, probably the same for the diffs but I'm not entirely sure on that. Certainly different for the gearbox, the 2.8 and 4.2 use very different gearboxes
I have a 2005 3.0L Diesel Patrol , I have a Diff lock switch in the center console. My question is DO I HAVE A LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFF OR NOT? I do not want to put the wrong oil in!
Standard interval is about 50,000 kilometres. You'd wanna check it regularly if you do a lot of water and mud driving and change it if it looks milky. If the vehicle sees a lot of that sort of driving you might do it as often as every 20,000
+Rolly B It's about 350 to 400 degrees at 100k's an hour, on a flat piece of highway. The roof top tent causes it to be pretty high, and use a lot more fuel. 800 degrees is a little bit hot!
Bullshit All you would have to do on the rd28 is remove the harmonic balancer which has a lock key to change crankshaft seal no need to worry about timing as it only goes back one way
+Jason Kuy for the diffs the Nissan handbook recommends every 50k. I think transfer and gearbox are every 80k. I do my diffs about every 30k though, or more often if I've been in a lot of water. I do transmissions at about 50k
+Intents Offroad Yeah, it's not a bad thing to better the recommended interval, especially on diffs. They tend to absorb moisture lot faster through the breathers and degrade the quality of the oil inside.
never use ramps like that mate, they can slid out. dropping the car on you, always put them up the top of the ramp, I was lucky. I did that, walked up to get under it and the ramp shot out. Great video but
Totaly agree , poor safety putting a vehicle half way up ramps even if the tyres are still on very easy for the ramps to slip forward withn the weight of the vehicle on them.Good video though.
Hi, just wondering if someone can help? I got a Nissan Navara D40 and looks like I have LSD in rear diff. Manual suggests 80W-90 GL5 type fluid. I found this one only in mineral. I was thinking to use full synthetic which comes in 80W-140 GL5 also says for LSD type diff by Penrite, same is used in this video. Is it OK to use? Don't know why 80W-140 was listed for standard diff in my manual.
Yeah that 80w 140 will be fine. If you look up your vehicle on the penrite website you'll find their vehicle selector and in there it will recommend that oil as an option
i am always scare when i came to the bolts in cars or bike. every time i try truncates old bolt it brake. us such i just now go to mechanic and if he brake it he need replace it for free. I cannot imagine brake one of the drain oil bolt on that patrol. and soon one will arrived in my driveway....
I totally understand that haha! I've broken a few bolts that's for sure. I did once have an oil drain bolt that got stuck and rounded off, but whatever goes wrong there's always some way to fix it 🙂
Sorry man but the reason I had to watch the video was fo find where the gearbox & transfer case drain and fill holes where.. and they’re not shown in your video. Bugger
Nope, not in this diff. 4.7 litres is correct for the H260 diff though. Most series 1 GU's use the H233B diff, except the TB45 manual I think. Then they used the H260 diff in a few more models from series 2 onwards.
Hey Akex, Good job bud. Can you Give us some tips for some more bloody turbo whistle mate! mines a zd30 but your 2.8 sounds much better, Have 3" Exhaust, snorkel too ;/ cheers
Thanks bro! 6 cylinder turbo diesels always seem to sound better than the 4 cylinder ones. Heck, the 2.8 had turbo whistle with the factory exhaust. If all else fails though...less mufflers!
Hi mate if your turbo whistles when you are idling, you may need to replace the turbo gasket or if you are experiencing random turbo boost at awkward times which causes the turbo to whistle at any given moment, it might be because of A contaminated MAF sensor can cause faulty signals to the ECU resulting in over-boosting the TURBO. All the best!!
Brilliant idea with the air compressor Alex. Good vid mate.

Mate you are by far my favourite bloke on tube. I hope you keep making vids.. Love your work mate!!!!
Your ghetto diff oil pickup valve setup is awesome.
I'm gonna have to make me one of those !
hell yes to more backyard Nissan repairs and services plus hypotheticals
Good stuff, we don't have the same chassis, but I think we have the same drive train and engine. So this is very helpful for me.
Clever fella with that air compressor bottle idea
I see your all about safety , that's the way
That Thomas Edison reference was actually bad ass
that trick with the mayo jar is great
Great job on all you vids. Watched all of them and enjoyed every bit. Can't wait for more :)
Great idea with the filler bottle and the air compressor!
This is bloody top value. Great stuff
No worries about your rear transfer case... look at it this way, you now have an excuse to get bigger wheels/tires since you are going to have to regear the rear end eventually! Great video!
you should do one for engine oil and coolant changes this video helped me alot changing the diff oil

Hello, good day! Thanks for this very helpful video. New subscriber here. 😊 If I may ask, can I use the same kind of oils for my GQ Patrol? Thank you
Good vid.
What do you use to clean your pressure bottle between each task.
The oil filler mayo container is gold
Wondered where you'd run off too! Good video mate.

Hi., you can use s
A tube as extended handle for the handle., less stress power for losen the bolt.

welcome back RUclips my friend...
Thanks mate! Cheers for watching :)
Could you please make a video how to change that leaking seal on transfer case? Mine is leaking too and your video is good instruction book, cheers
Thanks mate, you should coach the wallabies rugby team!
Would you be able to do a video showing the exact locations for greasing the slip yokes and uni joints?
should make a video on how you make that pump bottle

gday matey. have you fitted an oil catch can yet. thinking of putting one in my patrol
great oil pump Alex
Silly question maybe, but why do you need to remove filler plug before drain plug? *learning.. Good video, by the way
+Alice Tocher legit question. Should have mentioned that! Drain and filler plugs often seem to be seized for whatever reason, so it's just making sure you can get the fill plug out before you drain it all and realise you can't drive anywhere if the filler plug won't move.

If you got a short lengh of pipe for your breaker bar you will find that is easier to loosen the nut
Nice one. Thanks bud👍
Hi there l have a 2015 patrol 3.0l diesel,can you tell me where you got your meserments for your oils and the types you needed. Is there a web site for this information.
This is rd28 patrol btw if anyone wants to know
@Intents Is that the supercheap auto down in armadale next to harvey norman?
Sure is!
Interesting
THX 4 the VID
Someone said you need to flush the rest of the transmission fluid like about 11l or do you only need to change it from where you did
In an automatic you'd have to do that but for a manual it's much simpler
Why does the front diff take more oil than the rear
Genius
Hi mate , are all the oil capacities for the front & rear diff and gearbox the same as the 4.2 Y60 diesel ?
+Larry Guilfoyle hey dude, probably the same for the diffs but I'm not entirely sure on that. Certainly different for the gearbox, the 2.8 and 4.2 use very different gearboxes

Yeah that will use the same oils
how often would you need to do this ?
Standard interval is about 50,000 kilometres. You'd wanna check it regularly if you do a lot of water and mud driving and change it if it looks milky. If the vehicle sees a lot of that sort of driving you might do it as often as every 20,000
just wondering Alex, what egt does the 2.8 litre run at? my mate has a 3litre at that gets up to 800 degrees
+Rolly B It's about 350 to 400 degrees at 100k's an hour, on a flat piece of highway. The roof top tent causes it to be pretty high, and use a lot more fuel. 800 degrees is a little bit hot!
Hey mate i have gu needs new front crankshaft seal is this all hooked up to timing
If it's a RD28 it is yeah. I did it once on that vehicle. I'd pay someone else if it had to be done again.
@@Alex.G yeh it is bugger i was hoping it wasnt oh well
Bullshit All you would have to do on the rd28 is remove the harmonic balancer which has a lock key to change crankshaft seal no need to worry about timing as it only goes back one way

May I ask is your gearbox manual or automatic?
Manual on that one

There is no need to have those plugs so tight in the diff,am willing to bet that it was beyond torque specs.
About 6 ugga dugs seems to do the trick 😉
Shock load a tight bolt i.e. hit it with a hammer. No need for a 20 foot breaker bar.
2.2 litres in the rear diff ? You'd better double that, try 4.7 litres.
Nope, not in this diff. 4.7 litres is correct for the H260 diff though. Most series 1 GU's use the H233B diff, except the TB45 manual I think. Then they used the H260 diff in a few more models from series 2 onwards.
