Diff Breathing a ...lot of oil Hi Folks. Recently got a 1.5 Nismo diff (non pro). Seems to be breathing quite a lot of oil. Couldn't really find any information on whether this is normal or not. Haven't had it a long time so turning to the SAU brains trust to see if anyone's seen something similar here. Haven't beaten SUPER hard on the diff. Little bit of hill driving, little bit of track day, (but the picture was before the track day). Car is used as a daily. I believe the oil is "Total" and it's an 80-90W oil that was put in when the diff was put in. Is this getting too hot and causing it to essentially breathe everywhere? Worth changing to an 80-250w or 80-140 LSD oil like the Nismo one? Note: Diff IS in an auto, so you get a lot of torque down low with not a lot of speed thanks to stall converter. Unsure if that changes things, prematurely heats things, or anything. Any alternate solutions? The oil was bad enough for a suspension place to think it was a leaking shock when it was actually diff oil over everything.
