Good morning. I am planning on changing the differential oil in my '05 Armada. Should I be using the Nissan brand differential oil or is there a differential oil that I can buy at Pepboys? I know that it's recommended to use the Nissan brand tranny fluid, so I just wanted to know. Thanks for any info in advance.

How often should this be done and how much differential oil is needed to change?

The nissan parts guy said 2 quarts is enough. You have to look at your service manual because there are 3 types of service depending on how you drive. Premium maintenance, Schedule 1 Maintenance, and Schedule 2 Maintenance.
