The process is just fine and the optional filter addition is fine as well. However, the power steering fluid used is wrong. Not that it's Lucas, they make a good product. Any power steering fluid is wrong unless it is equivalent to Dexron III ATF. Yep. The same ATF that is specified for the Pathfinder and QX4 automatic transmissions is specified for the power steering as well.

Holy s***, I had no idea. I've been using this for years now. So I should just use the same ATF fluid I use for the transmission and transfer case?mdmellott wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 8:32 amThe process is just fine and the optional filter addition is fine as well.
