I'm sorry that I haven't had any related information on Nissan car. To ensure you are apply a correct fluid for your steering fluid. Better check on your Owner's manual. There stated clearly what kind fluid is right for your application. You don't need to wandering around. Otherwise, you may contact Royal Purple Company, they may refer your the right one. Thanks for your inquiry.

Yes, ATF fluid is the exact same as power steering fluid. Even a Mclaren runs ATF in the steering system.

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.

ATF is automatic transmission fluid. The Japs use transmission fluid for power steering because it tolerates heat better.

I have a 2010 Maxima Sport and I bought 6 quarts for a drain and fill by my local autoshop. I ended up with one spare quart. I bought the OEM CVT transmission fluid because if I didn't use Nissan OEM fluid it would void my warranty of 100,000 miles for the transmission.

No, it's Red.It is compatible with any Automatic transmission fluid listed on the manufacturers website. Which contains every ATF that I've ever seen.

Ignore the guy who suggests not using synthetic fluids. Some ENGINES can have issues with leakage after switching to a synthetic. But not transmissions. Your car REQUIRES a synthetic trans fluid anyways- using a conventional fluid WILL damage it! However, your car has the Mercedes 5- speed automatic, commonly called the NAG-1 transmission. The only aftermarket fluid I know of that meets the specs for this trans is Valvoline MaxLife synthetic.

I wouldnt use the Honda PS fluid in your Nissan. Not that I think it could cause damage, but I would follow your manual. Prestone would do well in your car, it just doesnt do well in Hondas. Just make sure you buy the Prestone for Asian vehicles.

This product is a friction modifier not ATF I would not use this on your Hyundai ,Their transmissions are very touchy about the fluid used.If you want to use Synthetic use Royal Purple it wont hurt the seals

I would not use this fluid in the maxima. I would check my owners manual. I believe yours takes dextron III. But I'm am not sure. I would not mix the fluids.

No Dexron works with Dexron cars. Earlier mercedes used Dexron III but not since 1994. Only 134 for the 700 series transmissions.

This is a very heavy duty lubricant. It has modifiers to prevent metal to metal contact, especially during racing applications or off road. I go 30K miles before a change. But this is a totally synthetic fluid and it could go up to 75K in an axle.(more frequent if running through deep water!) I use this in the transmission of my Harley and it quiets everything down, easier shifting. A friend that drag races Harley's turned me on to this some years ago. Not sure if this lubricant can handle posi-traction units. It may be too slippery(read, no friction additives for the clutches) Always refer to your owners manual for the proper viscosity fluid. My 2013 Ford uses trans fluid in both axles and transfer case. Go to Red Line's website for further technical specifications. Good luck.

My auto 97 nissayn maxima. I do no know. MY problem was a significant leaking of the power steering fluid and the leak was was reduced so that i have not added fluid in a year or two. this is an exceptional product for stopping leaks. The staff at Checker / ORiely highly recommend this product.

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.

According to their website: The Valvoline MaxLife ATF Advantages: *Synthetic fluid *Conditions transmission seals to prevent leaks *Reduces varnish formation and wear *Our best anti-shudder performance *Improves and maintains smooth shifting longer than conventional automatic transmission fluids *Superior anti-shudder performance *Provides excellent flow properties at low temperatures and greater film protection at high temperatures *Maximizes the life of higher mileage transmissions I am using the fluid in my Mercedes C230. It was starting to get a hard shift at 122,000. I drained as much as I could through the cooler line during the service getting out almost 7 1/2 quarts. Installed new filter. The shifts are now very smooth and under light throttle you barely feel the shift. I would recommend the fluid if it meets your application.

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.

I would not think so. This is mostly for vintage vehicles. I purchased this for a 57 Chevy. The owner's manual for your vehicle lists Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid. If you go to website www.manualowl.com you can download a user manual in PDF format. Fluid listed on page 6-12.

If your trans fluid lines are leaking I would suggest replacing them. If the bottom of your radiator is leaking where they enter it I would suggest a new radiator. One of those would be the best fix. That being said, I have used these little coolers for multiple fluid cooling applications, not just power steering. The most important part is having a way to clamp or seal in the fluid pressure. Usually for trans lines, you dont want hose clamps because they are liable to leak.

Royal Purple's Synchromax is recommended only for GM Synchromesh applications. If your transmission calls for Synchromesh fluid, then RP Synchromax will be a great upgrade. I've heard of people creating custom blends using Synchromesh-compatible fluid, but I don't know anything about that and I personally wouldn't want to risk screwing it up.
