Drive train fluids

[Snafu]

Curious to hear what fluids people use in their 2nd gen.

FSM calls for the following:
Front diff: 0.85 L of 80w90: does it run that much hotter to need the extra 5w or can the rear diff fluid be used?
Rear diff (c200): 1.6 L of 75w90
Transfer case: 2.0 L of Genuine NISSAN Matic D ATF for continental US. In Canada use NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid (DEXRON III, MERCON):
Transmission: 10.3 L of Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF

Puzzling why similar parts need different fluids...ugh.

For the transfer case, I have a US truck but drive in Canada. I am guessing I should use what is recommended for Canada (presuming the difference is due to weather rather than due to differences in design).

Things that make you go 'huh?'

Thoughts?

Here is what I have been using for years...

Front Diff - Amsoil 80W90 (AGL)
Rear Diff - Amsoil 75W90 (SVG)
T-Case - Amsoil ATF (ATF)
Trans - Nissan Matic J

The code in brackets is the Amsoil product code for your reference.

I'm guessing the 80w90 may be regular oil and the 75w90 is synthetic? They may call for it as it's under greater load in the rear. Or just a difference in bearings?

Now to find the amsol stuff!

It was simpler in the olden days

Ski sells Amsoil, so does true from jeep central.

Nismojunky had a guy who sold it. That's where I used to get it from, prices were good, I used to buy it by the case.

[Snafu]

Ski who?

I wonder where Nismo's guy is located
