Power Steering Fluid

Hey guys,

Should I even bother with using OEM power steering fluid or any after market ones are fine?

Thanks,

I used to use Mobil 1 ATF in my older Nissan cars, I am not sure if it is still a good replacement for PS fluid.

Actually right on the cap on the G it says to use Power Steering Fluid or ATF Dexron/Mercron fluid.

I have it in mine, and it is in the ByTheBay Video for how to change the power steering fluid. Been working good for me.

Yep - but get it at Walmart - it is actually a bit cheaper. I flushed my Power Steering Fluid with about 4 liters of the stuff before I put it away for the winter.

Cool, I will be sure to flush my fluid in the spring.
