power steering fluid
 

Hello all, Okay today I went to Nissan to change my oil and they told me I need to replace the power steering fluid on my 2010. Which is the best fluid to buy...Redline D6 ATF?

Do any one have a DIY with pics? Thanks!!!

i always go to youtube

Many posts on this already. Search is your friend.

I already search and no DIY?

Try using one of the major web search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string.

To drain the PS, just remove the hose going to the cooler - easy. Getting to the hoses is a royal PITA.
You can also suck the fluid out of the reservoir but you can't get it all.

Detailed procedure should be in the FSM but I haven't looked.

dude I already look in every search engines know to men. I google, youtube, search pictures and all the forums. nothing came up for 370z DIY.

One of the PS cooler DIYs will have what you need.

yes i already read that one..it didn't help me at all.

Opening up a line might open up more issues down the line. Total capacity of power steering isn't that much - a little over a qt according to the fsm . When I do mine I'll just suck out and replenish a few times.

Edit: What about undoing the return hose from the reservoir, connect a length of stiff hose to it, route it to an empty 1 gal container of some sort then start the car up for a few seconds? That will allow the pump itself to empty out the fluid. Running it for a few seconds shouldn't cause any damage?

Something like this method used on the honda - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWcCXyAALCI

I'm gonna just do it the easy way. sucking out the old stuff and replenish a few times also. Bleeding just sound like its too much trouble. Did you jacked the front up?

i usually use the turkey baster method and then re do it every few hundred miles

i used the factory steering fluid when i did the baster change. it comes in a tiny bottle though.. :ugh:
