That is correct.

After checking out the diff oils at supercheap on-line, I found this listed, and purchased it. I'm hoping it's still available, as it's not listed in the Penrite web-site search. Supercheap says it's a special order from Penrite, so not kept in stores, and will be delivered.
Penrite HD Gear Oil Premium Mineral Non Limited Slip - 80W-90, 20l. ( only available in 20 & 105 lt drums and has no "slip" additives ) $160 for 20lts.
We'll see what happens.

just to add to big gags post . my car is almost due for its first gearbox and diff oil change so i've had a bit of a look around them and all of the filler and drain plugs have some sort of sealant around the plugs . in almost every other car i've had i've always had slight weeping from the plugs , very minimal , and only just noticeable, but there all the same. to make a tapered thread seal they have to be very tight and i have come across plugs ( hex heads ,allen key and slotted for flat head screwdrivers ) that have bee stripped because they were done up so tight to make them seal . they can be a real pain to remove . i have seen other alternatives to seal them as well . there is/was one system where you screw a plug in and then screw a cap in to the plug which seals with o' ring/s against the g/box housing to contain any weeping . years ago most 4x4,s would be parked outside on a patch of dirt and the odd drop of oil and grease here and there was part of the deal of owning a 4x4 . but these days a lot of people want to keep their car in the garage and not have it drop oil and grease on the floor , not to mention the issues this might cause with the authorities . i park my car in the garage , so would like what this sealant compound is that nissan has used .
Don't know if anyone is still following this thread?
Just to clarify. There is no LSD on factory 2014 GU Y61 DX cab chassis? I'm about to do my diff oils too, and i think it is just a standard diff lock? not LSD?
can someone confirm
If it's a dx and doesn't have an lsd it would be an open diff I assume. No lockers unless they were added and you would know about that. In this case it probably doesn't matter which oil you use. Limited slip stuff would do it.
I'd be interested to know also, picking up a 2012 model with locker in the rear, so assume that the oil will be the same front and rear. 80W-90 all round I assume? Still researching the options, but sounds like the Penrite is out. What alse is being used out there?
Cheers,

Paul,
This oil is suitable for the Patrol rear locker diff but you need to order it direct from Penrite. It took about a week to arrive.

Looking through the treads it would seem that I can use the same oil in the gearbox and transfer as well, at least that would justify spending on 20lt.
Cheers,
Paul
looking thru the the manual it seems that a dexron lll atf oil is listed for the transfer box
