Bought 3 quarts of Genuine Nissan 80W90, went below to change the rear diff oil and on the back of the diff i see the following: "75W-140 Synthetic Oil Only" right above the filler plug.
Checked a few forums online and learned that there are two diffs on the D40 Navara, a C200 that requires 80W-90 oil and a M226 that requires 75W-140. Also read that the C200 is usually found on the 4x2 Navaras and have 8 bolts holding the cover whereas the M226 is found on the 4x4 versions with 12 bolts holding the cover. The M226 is also a Dana 44 variant (as ligthhammer has posted), same as used on the Titan and Xterra. Problems with the M226 were pre 2007.
So based on this information I can conclude that on my 4x4 D40 I've got a M226 rear differential(12 bolt pattern as well as 75W-140 being written on the diff above the filler hole).
What are the issues with using 80W-90 oil instead of the 75W-140 on the M226?
Do the identification via bolt pattern apply to our Thai models?
I will be returning the 80W-90 for 75W-140 full synthetic as it is what is stamped on the diff.
Any input from the more experienced tuners is welcome.

had a van that did it, customer complaint. couldnt find the problem Never showed back up, pulley snap off clean the next day. Just over 1k to replace the pulley tho. Replacement parts. 1600$ for a full alternator rebuild and service.
at 100k i do.
thermostat
coolant
2 drive belts
tranmission oil drain and fill (usually at 80k)
front, rear and transfer case (usually at 80k)
i spin the pulleys pumps and idlers at this point, Never had any go bad yet. saw vehicles at 200k without having any changed except the alternator.
every 10k
diesel filter 2
air filter
oil and filter
brakes check service and adjustment
driveshaft cross
diff tc fluid check if suspect.
wiperblades 16/22
the diff oil is a suspect thing, the manual uses a diff oil from the automatic, they stamp on the rear cover so no beatup.
i work on these everyday, navaras are excellent vehicles when well maintained

I find it very difficult to believe that I cannot get the clamp rubbers and bushings separately. By chance anyone experience this issue?
