Old oil

[solarman216]

I would have expected it to be more milky indicating water in the oil, maybe the breather was clogged with mud so limiting the water ingress, reminds me I must check the diff oil on my off roader, Rick

Anybody know how you remove the front diff breather out? Replaced my rear breather aswell the other day.

Cheers Gav

interesting point, as it is bent, just been out and had a look at my spare, lots of crud on it but looks like it is the same as a brake pipe, sleeve nut pipe stays still, so if you are able to get a new one just break the old pipe and unscrew and discard the old nut, replace with new, Rick

The modified oil for the transfer box from Nissan is ATF it stops heavy oil drag in winter causing the front prop to turn so locking the front hubs when not needed, Rick

Nissan dealer ordered it in for me . Cost about £4.60.

It looks like a Male 1/4" BSP hosetail? Could be bigger. Hard to tell without a reference. Something like this £3.99 for 3:

You would have to run a new pipe as the old one wouldn't fit

[AD Ent]

Ok, I don't know what size the Nissan pipe is. Hosetail sizes are available 5mm (1/4") upto 19mm(1/2") and thread size too.
