Brake fluid use Nissan brake fluid or equivalent DOT 3 fluid up to the max line. Power steering fluid is genuine Nissan PSF II or equivalent. i saw that too….but i figure not everyone would use nissan genuine stuff……for example, ppl use mobil 1, instead of nissan geniue motor oil…
Can you mix DOT 4 with DOT 5.1 brake fluid?
This brake fluid does not require cleaning the system and can be mixed with DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 without damage the system. This brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere thus reduces its boiling point (ERBP). It can also damage the paint on a vehicle. DOT 4:This brake fluid is also based upon poly glycol.
What kind of steering fluid does Nissan use?
Power steering fluid is genuine Nissan PSF II or equivalent. i saw that too….but i figure not everyone would use nissan genuine stuff……for example, ppl use mobil 1, instead of nissan geniue motor oil… i am wondering if they replace it with some top of the line, or may be better brand..etc..
How often should you change your brake fluid?
None of this should be a problem as long as you change your brake fluid every 2-3 years. Old brake fluid (>2 years since flush) can have enough moisture dissolved in it that its freezing point can become problematic at regular winter temps…that’s likely more the issue than the ‘pristine’ freezing point of -50’F or lower.
