Generally the VLSD is not too picky with oil. You may use anything as long as the viscosity is correct.

VSLD is a sealed unit. Anything the open diff is happy with they VSLD will be. Synth is fine.

75w-90 GL4/5. You can run GL5 in the diff but not the MT. So, I just buy GL4.

not to sound noob and shi*, but i heard that there is *special* dif oil that locks up the vlsd really good!!!

anyone know anything about that?

VLSD is a sealed unit in the Nissan. Anything you put in the pumpkin won't affect it.

go do some research on how a vlsd works and then come back. Obviously you have no clue.

Nissan recommends 80W-90, but 75W should be fine too.
