I read through the stickies and how to's but haven't found a definitive timeline on when to replace these fluids like power steeling, atf, oil, as far as mile intervals go. Like its said to do an oil change every 3k miles, what about the rest of these fluids?

And any definitive signs to show that you need to?

Thanks in advance

 

stick to your maintanance schedule in the owners manual unless you are using synthic oils, then it would depend on other factors and oils.

this question is too general and can be answered many different ways with more than one right answer.

go throught the stickies again, alot of the info is in there.

 

Automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 30k. Drain and fill at 30k, flush at 60k and repeat the process. Antifreeze is every 2 years or 30,000 miles. You can go longer than 2 years if you use an extended drain coolant like the Nissan anti-freeze.

Power steering fluid is probably every 60k miles or perhaps sooner.

It also helps to bleed the brakes and replace the brake fluid as it is hygroscopic and retains moisture which in turn can affect brake components.

 

any recommended brands you can just shell out?
