What type of power steering fluid to use?
I'm looking at the service manual right now and it says use genuine nissan psf or the equivalent, but I'm not sure if it still stands because J-matic fluid was replaced by S-matic fluid. I was thinking about using Dexron III trans fluid. I don't think they sell redline psf near my house.

Also, my fluid is kinda dark, so should I replace all the psf fluid? If so, how much would I need? About 3 quarts?

Just a thought...........

DOT III refers to brake fluid.

Just use Genuine Nissan ATF, if you want factory stuff, or Dexron III ATF from your local parts place...
