I'll have to double check again but I was told 2 years ago by the nissan dealership after they had to call Nissan HQ ha ha ha it was power steering fluid. I used it in my wifes vert a long time ago and it worked fine. I would check with the dealership though.

many hydraulic jack oils are about 10w, that's what I use.
