Just a quick question, I don't have an owners manual for my
1998 frontier and was wondering what type of diff oil and
transmission oil to use. I have a manual transmission.

Thank you,
csagenlee

I heard that if the transmission hasn't been touched after 100,000 miles to not do anything with it? is that true?

That would pertain to an auto trans.
