As per the maintenance section of the service manual for the 2001 Nissan Xterra...
Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF II, Canada
NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid, DEXRON III,
MERCON, or equivalent ATF may also be used.
Nissan Matic-J or equivalent ATF (Dex III)
For a 2002 Nissan Xterra, the recommended power steering fluid is typically Nissan's own PSF (Power Steering Fluid) or an equivalent fluid that meets the specifications for Dexron III/Mercon. It's important to avoid using ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) unless specified, as it may not provide the necessary performance. Always check the owner's manual or consult with a dealer for the most accurate information.
To replace the power steering hose in a 2000 Nissan Xterra, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the front driver's side wheel for better access. Drain the power steering fluid and disconnect the old hose from the pump and the steering gear using appropriate wrenches. Install the new hose by tightening the connections securely, then refill the power steering fluid, and bleed the system to remove any air. Finally, check for leaks and test the steering operation before lowering the vehicle.
just use automatic trans fluid. I think its dextron III. It's the same trans fluid that you'd put in a 04 Xterra trans. --dealership technician
It has electronic power steering and, unlike hydraulic steering, does not use any power steering fluid to operate.
You can add power steering fluid to your Nissan Pathfinder by adding it to the power steering reservoir. The power steering reservoir will be near the firewall in the engine compartment.
It is important to maintain the fluid in a car. The power steering fluid goes in the compartment under the car hood, labeled Power Steering.
Hi My Nissan Micra has electric power steering, and assume all later ones are the same, therefore no fluid/ no cap to find
A 1990 Nissan pickup truck has power steering. If the truck is displaying symptoms of not having power steering check the fluid levels and pump itself.
you have to take the central console (between the front seats) out. under there is the well for power steering fluid.
Nissan Rogue 2008 does not use power steering fluid so you will not find a reservoir for that. Rogue's power steering is operated my electric motors.
You don't. Electronic feed pump. If steering gets bad, go to dealer and have pump checked.
