R33 Diff- Can It Really Swallow 1.5-2L Of Oil?

So I wanna change the LSD oil over, and I got the oil ready. I just looked under the car and have located the upper and lower plugs on the diff, so that looks straight forward enough, but here is what puzzled me. The upper plug is located only about 3-4cm abover the lower one and it really doesnt look like it can hold the 1.5-2L of diff oil that I should be putting in it. Am I missing something here on how to fill it or is it just an illusion and there is nothing to worry about?

So many LSD oils unnecessary placed in viscous units...

Additives would be all like..."Hey...what are we even doing here? Turn up to work and they don't even need us. Shit, I could have slept in. I wish I was born a viscosity modifier instead."

While this is true, LSD oils are usually back compatible with regular diff oils and don't cost any extra for the normal stuff so if you're ever unsure, use LSD oil.

I mean, who can really say that everyone is going to know every part fitted to their car in Japan?

Some come over with 1.5 way diffs and you wouldn't know if you weren't in the know.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
