    @Inmysightstarget 3 года назад +7

    You don't need a oil made for limited slip diff... the differentials in the z and g cars don't use a clutch type limited slip they uses a viscous type that does not need the additives the limited slip with clutches need... it won't hurt it but regular 80/90 will work fine and will work better with the heat the vicious diffs make ...the 75/90 will cost more and is synthetic nothing wrong with that but not needed and not meant for the vicious diffs... just a fyi ... I've bulit tons 300 series diffs for the z platforms... but nothing wrong with using it but it's not a need ..
    If you have an aftermarket clutch type lsd that has clutch plates constantly slipping and rubbing and engaging, then you should look into more higher end gear oils, but VLSD is completely isolated and works on fluid pressure rather than mechanical friction.

      it pins up the leaks.. and plug is also an acceptable and more correct name for the part. i shot this before you even mentioned that it wasn't the correct name for the plugs, but it's not gonna make or break the video [production happens well in advance of postings.. i spend 80+hrs a week in production].. i've been calling them pins as well as the radiator drain pin, and engine oil pins my entire life.. normally when i refer to them as pins, everyone knows what i'm referring to.. so it's like.. you're right, but i already shot it, and now we have a video teaching the procedures to changing differential oil :)

    • @milsgarage
      @milsgarage  5 лет назад

      Awesome car choice sir! Is it lowered? On stock suspension, you should be able to jack it up using the rear diff and the front steering rack [ trueler.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/infiniti-g35-manual-jack-up-points.jpg ]. If it's lowered like the new G i'm working on, then you'll have to lift one of the sides to make room for another jack to get to those lifting points [it was a pain in the 🍑]...

    • @milsgarage
      @milsgarage  5 лет назад

      Any time neighbor :) Shifting was about the same, maybe a little smoother, but nothing drastic. Getting rid of the busted diff bushings made the biggest change in shifts.. [ ruclips.net/video/WyORJQDyVF8/видео.html ] Everything got much more solid after that. 05' 6MT is my fav. i feel like there's a way to tell if it has LSD from the VIN, but i imagine it would be easier to find a lil sand or dirt on the road and drop the clutch to find out real quick 😈. Yo, i love the meet idea! We have some really REALLY big plans that are all coming together [hopefully i'll be able to tell everyone about it by the end of the month], and we would definitely like to start hosting meets 💯. #Goals

      Hey Jhon, as far as i know, the Sports models all came with larger wheels [you would have the 19" Rays], as well as the sports suspension and LSD. i'm not sure about the other models, but you can always tell if you put the car in the snow, grass, on ice, slightly sandy types of surfaces and floor it for a sec. You'll know real fast whether the car has LSD or not

      You would need the sports package (03-04 have brembos, 05-07 have 19” rays, slightly different bumpers and orange stitching on the steering wheel to name a few). The VLSD is kind of crap on these cars and people swap them out for tomei 1.5 diffs or weld them. The fluid in the viscous LSD Is what controls them. They are prone to one tire fires until the fluid in them warms up and then it becomes a true lsd. It is a funky lsd but it is what it is

    • @milsgarage
      @milsgarage  4 года назад +3

      The engine creates the power, and sends it through the transmission, down the drive shaft, and to the differential. The differential then transfers the power to either the left, right, or both rear wheels [depending on what type of differential your car has]. Many car owners don't realize they need to change the differential oil, so if you've never changed it before, you might want to. They recommend changing the diff oil every 30,000 miles

      Infiniti recommends changing the dif fluid every 30,000 miles. i can't argue with them. by that time there is a major sludge of metal scraps that will be built up around the drain plug magnet, and the oil will be really beat and losing it's viscosity. *if you've gone way past that to the 70K mile mark or so, don't flush the differential.* flushing it at that point can actually make it fail faster

      Put the rear wheels on some slippery part of the road, maybe with sand on it.. Peel the tires out for a second or two. If it makes two marks, it's a limited slip. If it makes one mark, it's open 👍 .. That's the easiest way at least.. The other way is to have the whole rear lifted, and if you spin one of the wheels by hand, the other one will either move the same direction forward (limited slip), or the opposite directions (open dif)

      unless it's failed, there's not much of a way to tell how good or bad the oil is.. you would normally just go by the milage, but i don't think it can hurt at any point to change it. if the oil isn't changed, it will become thicker and more abrasive to the gears due to higher frictions, until it fails and will have to be replaced.. super anticlimactic most likely, but it will last much much longer if you decide to change out the fluid and go with synthetic

      Has yours been changed before? It should be changed every 30K miles, even at 60K is better than never.. If you've reached 100K or more, you are in the territory of maybe you shouldn't change it.. The oil loses it's viscosity as it ages, and the gears have wear that causes small flakes of metal.. If you're up around the 100K+ mark, the gears may now actually be relying on the grittiness of the old oil to keep the gear's traction, and some people say to just let it go until it eventually dies. i changed my first G's diff fluid at around 90K and was concerned, but the differential still works great

      It all depends on whether the Sports option was checked off, but a previous owner could have always swapped it out themselves.. Google will tell you the easiest way to tell if you have an open differential is to jack up the car and spin one of the rear tires. If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, you have an open differential. If it spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential.. But i personally believe that the easiest way is to set the car up on some loose sand or dirt in an empty parking lot and floor it for a second. You'll find out real quick
