Service Information

Dark oil and/or small
debris in the oil.

When checking or changing the
oil; oil level may be okay, but the
oil color is dark and small metallic
debris are on the drain plug.

No repair needed.

The transfer case oil (Nissan-Matic-D) may turn dark in color after the
vehicle accumulates miles or after operating at high temperatures.

Small metal debris are residual material from the transfer case com-
ponents. This is normal.

Difficult, or no shift from
4H into 2H.

Differences in the front and rear
ties size (circumference); caused
by tire wear or excessive load on
the rear of the vehicle.

Inspect the tires for different sizes.

All tires must be the same "height" and "distance around" (circumfer-
ence).

If there are differences in the size, or if one or more tires are exces-
sively worn when compared to the other tires, make corrections as
needed so all of the tires are the same size (circumference) before
evaluating the transfer case operation.

*Size = tire height and circumference (distance "around").
