My 2003 Nissan Maxima says use ATF Type Dexron for the Power Steering fluid. WTFreak is ATF? Does that mean Auto Transmission Fluid? Does that mean I can use this as the Power Steering fluid? Thank you.

Yes, RP ATF is compatible with your Nissan and will work. ATF does mean Automatic Transmission Fluid. There are many on the market, with many different additives. Royal Purple was designed to replace a majority of them. I use it in my Dodge Ram and my 88 Chevy Beretta. I recommend it in your Nissan.

Do not use RP max gear in transmissions...it is too slippery for the syncros to function correctly. I recommend Redline MT-90 for transmissions

I use in my 02 Volvo v70 xc 2.4L turbo...... Mobil ATF 3309 is recommended for use in transmissions requiring fluids of JWS 3309 or GM 9986195 quality levels. It is also recommended for service fill applications where Toyota T-IV or T4, T-III or T3 are called for.it would help if I knew what car you want to use it in...jay

I am currently using it on my 2003 Ford Taurus SEL . I added full bottle to my transmission filled up with Castrol Mercon V. It eliminated shudder on converter lock-up (I had shudder when accelerating slowly and going into OD). 15,000 miles so far and no issues. One can not use it in Ford vehicles with F type ATF fluid only.

You shouldn't have any problem. I looked it up and the powerglide takes type A transmission fluid which has been renamed dexron now. Royal purple lists GM DEXRON®, DEXRON® II, DEXRON® IID,DEXRON® IIE, DEXRON®-IIIF,DEXRON® IIIG, DEXRON®-IIIH compatable.

Not sure. You may want to contact Redline for that. All I know is car enthusiast swear by Red Line and Amsoil for transmission fluid.

From what I've been told by my Hyundai dealer, you should NEVER flush out the transmission fluid; only drain and refill. It has to do with the filter that they use. I would check with your local dealership before you do your first transmission fluid change.

NotSteve is correct. There is no power steering fluid to replace since its electric power steering.

Just did some research, i was right the trailblazer never came in manual transmission. This item is only for those that have the v8s with the shift lock system. It was a GM trick to meet fuel requirements so we wouldn't pay the gas guzzler tax on our corvettes, GTOs, cameros, etc. Forces 1st to 4th shift if you are just putting around. But you have no need for it in an auto, nor could you even use it

Any early Borg Warner box would take Type A, ideally. The use of Dextron three won't damage the gearbox per se, but it will lead to long term leakage and possibly too much long term clutch pack deterioration. These boxes, or a variant of them, were used on Mercedes type 300 sedans, which we see a good number of [1956-1961]. They certainly like type A even more.

It is transmission fluid. Only to be used in certain transmissions. It does not go in the engine. Make sure this is the right type of fluid for your vehicle before buying.

What does you owners manual calls for???If it calls for Dex/ Mercon this will work. At some point Toyota switch over to the IV fluid, not sure waht year!!

This is a top of the line ATF that will out perform pretty much all other products out there.. However, at 190,000 miles, the quality of your rebuild will probably be the deciding factor in your transmission life vs the quality of the fluid. So you may be better served sticking with something much cheaper.

Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak is more viscous than the regular fluid (Dexron III/Mercon or Dexron II). The kinematic viscosity (the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid) of Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak (according to Lucas Oil's website) at 100 deg C is 45 centiStokes. For comparison, Dexron III and Dexron II both have a kinematic viscosity of 7 centiStokes at the same temperature (100 deg C). Also for comparison, water at room temperature has a kinematic viscosity of about 1 centiStoke. In other words, the viscosity of Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak is more than 6 times higher than Dexron type II or type III. Lucas' instructions recommends to use at most two (12 oz.) bottles, preferably one. Using more than 2 bottles will result in excessive viscosity for the power steering. From my experience, it only works for slow leaks seeping through very narrow gaps, relying on its slightly higher viscosity to stop or at least slow down the leak. The more Lucas you use, the more viscous is the total mixture inside the power steering. In my case, I used one bottle. My car had a slow seeping leak and (the one bottle of) Lucas slowed it down considerably but it did NOT completely eliminate it. I eventually decided to replace the rack and pinion which completely solved my problem.

This is the fluid for VW/Audis with the larger version of the DSG gearbox. I think Audi may call it something else. You need to be careful as this is a fully synthetic oil and VW have changed the oil specification for the smaller DSG boxes (designated 200 I think) to a mineral oil to try to manage the serious issues with the mechatronic control in this box. So I would make sure you do not purchase this oil if you have this smaller DSG box.

While some vehicles use ATF for power steering fluid, I definitely would not recommend trying it with a Toyota.

Yep, this is what you need. I use it in my Outback tranny as it requires non limited slip fluid as well....it works great. Been using it well over 100K.
