how easy is to change the power steering fluid?

how often should it be changed?

How much fluid does the car take?

I know it requires Dexron III fluid. What Brand of fluid do you all prefer? Can I use the Nissan MAtic-D Fluid that is OEM auto transmission fluid for our Maximas? Would using synthetic ATF such as Mobil1 provide benefit or cause harm as the power steering system is not designed for synthetic?

Thanks

 

1. EASY!!!!!! there is a sticky about it with pictures

2. not often as it doesn't go bad often nor needs too much attention, should be a closed system.

3. i would go with a fully syn

 

very easy to change. dont do that turkey baster crap is it leaves old fluid in there. for the PS I would use regular Dex III. The whole system takes about a quart. There will be no added benefit in using a full synthetic.

and that "high pressure dangerous" stuff is nonsense. just an FYI.
