Power steering fluid is low~help

[stormcruiser]

I thought this fluid will never run out....but it did......How do I fill it? Just uncap and pour it in?

Do I need special fluid or any warmart brand fluid do the job?

[Nick VR4]

yes just top it up to the right level
I would go with a good brand of fluid
Might be worth checking to see if you have any leaks

You can also use automatic transmission fluid.

i need some power steering fluid also.
but i got a 8g
where can i get the fluid?

do NOT use mitsu sp3 as power steering fluid!

you can use some generic types of auto trans fluid, but NOT mitsu fluid. It will damage some rack seals.

What are generic brand that you are talking about? Give me some idea? Will the dexron mercon thing work fine?

Which is better? ATF fluid or designated power steering fluid?

i didnt know we can use transmission fluid, i thought nissan was the only maker that did this.....so its ok to mix a/t fluid with some power steering fluid we have left in our resevoirs?
