AFAIK, the transfer case (the little bulge hanging off the rear of the gearbox) doesn't take oil as such. It is fed by what amounts to A/T fluid which is stored in a reservoir located in the RHS of the boot, behind the boot lining panel.

If, on the other hand, you really mean the front differential (the little bulge that hangs off the sump), then about 1 litre of a 85w/90 gear oil should suffice.

Thanks, but I’m not sold.

Can anyone confirm this as fact?

I believe the reservoir in the boot is for the hydraulic clutch to engage

the front wheels as required. This also has to be bleed correctly to avoid

air build up.

The transfer case on the side of the gear box has a drain plug at the bottom

and a plug on the side to refill.

No the transfer case takes seperate fluid 1.8l ATF. I filled it via the gear selecter in the cabin but I assume there is a proper filler on the side somewhere too.

The fluid in the boot engages the transfer case but inside is a seperate fluid.

So Matic D can be used to fill the transfer case also?

There's a square drive taper filler plug on the back face of the transfer case 'bulge'.

Correct fill up to that level, the drain plug is on the side of the tranfer case( drivers side).

You can fill it from the top like Duncan said but you wont know when its full...

You can use D-matic or dextron in the tranfer case, of course Nissan will tell you to use their D-matic .

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
