Anyone know if all the 01 QX4s have limited slip differentials?
I don't think I have a sticker on mine and I can't jack it up and spin the wheels to check right now, but I do want to order some oil.
I might go out with a flashlight later and take another look but it's a beat up salvage so I doubt I'll see anything there.

Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, the oil I was looking at can be used in LS diffs anyway. I'll leave the thread up anyway because it would be nice to know and maybe someone else could use the info.

They don't. There were LSD and 2-pinion differentials for the VG33E and VQ35DE models of QX4 and the R50 Pathfinders. Without that sticker, or plugging in the VIN to check a specific vehicle, I'm not sure how else to tell the difference short of jacking up the back end to spin the tires. Looking at Infiniti Parts Deal for an answer didn't help. https://www.infinitipartsdeal.com/parts ... m=380_A001

My owners manual recommended fluids say LSD fluids for Front and Rear diffs. I do have LSD.

I could be wrong, but I believe LSD was part of the winter package that includes heated seats. So if it has heated seats it should have LSD.
