How often do you need to change power steering fluid?

I was at an EZ-Lube and they said every 10k. On a side note, the guy said he'd change my oil (w/ Mobil 1 synthetic) for $30. Cash only of course, didn't get a receipt. I'm used to paying $45-$56. Think I got jacked? Maybe he refilled the bottles with regular oil. Didn't think about watching him carefully.

As a practice, always get some kind of receipt. That way if you and nissan end up in some kind of stand-off, you have some proof to show that you have performed routine service on the car.

Power Steering Fluid is ATF so I change it on the same schedule. Every 30K. I flushed the Automatic Transmission and Power Steering System last time and refilled with AMSOIL Synthetic ATF. As far as the $30 goes it would cost you about that for the parts and you would have to do it and it is cold out.
