condition the diff was in prior to the thrashing also comes into play.

ive been informed the nissan diffs while strong aren't assembled too well and really need to be pulled out and tightened up after a few uses.

dont know how accurate that is though

Spider/sun gears break because of to muck wheel spin. In an open diff all of the drive is being directed to the spinning wheel through the spider gears. that wheel grabs a rock and cruncho.

not an oil issue, as said above can be from over spinning or picking up a wheel and dropping it.
