Color of Power Steering Fluid?
What color is this? I bought some ATF containing Dexron III and it's red. Can the color differ from one manufacturer to another?

Sorry for the ealier confusion. So long as it contains Dexron II or Dexron III, it doesn't matter.

For a Nissan, use ATF in the power steering reservoir and make sure it says Dexron on the bottle somewhere. Forget about PS fluid.
