HPL Alternative for Nissan D3M?

[DMaC756]

Hey folks! Finding limited information online, so I was hoping someone here might be able to help.

I have a 2019 Nissan Titan XD with the Cummins ISV. Transfer case calls for Nissan "D3M" ATF. I'm trying to determine if HPL Blue ATF will be an acceptable replacement.

HPL does not specifically list D3M in their list of compatible fluids. However, there are a couple of fluids like Motul Multi that appear to have the same compatibility as HPL Blue and D3M are listed for those.

I know HPL states "Along with Many More" on their compatibility list.

Matic D and D3M are two different fluids, for clarification.

After thorough research I'm going all HPL with this truck. Engine Oil, Diff Oil, Trans Fluid. Hoping I can include the transfer case too!

Thanks so much. Really glad to be a part of your community here. I've already learned way more about automotive lubricants than I'd ever wanted to know!

I think it would be best to call them directly on this question. They are very helpful.

This. They will get you setup right.

Update:

I got an email back from David Canitz over at HPL. Per David, the D3M fluid is nothing more than Dex/Merc with an additive package. He stated that I am correct in thinking HPL Blue will work perfectly fine in this transfer case.

Not exactly a common question as there's probably very few vehicles out there requiring D3M in any capacity, but hopefully someone else will see this thread and get some help from it!
