9:04 keep in mind that some vehicles take Dextron II or III - always check the manual for this type of stuff. Toyota/Lexus vehicles are known to produce whiny pumps if they have power steering fluid rather than ATF.

This car also takes Dextron, he put in the wrong kind of fluid.

Do all your fluids. Engine oil, trans fluid, differential fluid, power steering and brake. Z1 motor sports has all the OEM fluids. I’d especially do oem on trans fluid. I did oem for all. They have kits with exactly how much you need and the crush washers. Very helpful

@philipgaddis8076 2 жыл бұрын

Great tutorial! BUT nissan/inifinti calls for "ATF" Automatic Transmission Fluid for the power steering! Standard power steering fluid will work but will break down faster and not last as long. Its highly recommended to keep using ATF, I would recommend to reflush the power steering system with OEM nissan or a good quality fluid from AMSoil or valvoline ATF.

If it calls for Dex 3, use Dex 3. Regular power steering fluid and transmission fluid are not interchangeable.

Why didn’t you suck out the power steering fluid from the reservoir first duh?

@neuvatierra4324 2 жыл бұрын

The reason why it took so many turns to flush the line is because ATF dyes other oils easily. In other words to purge a hydraulic oil to ATF would only take a few turns to get it in the line. To go from ATF to a hydraulic oil will take at least five times as many turns hence why so much power steering was wasted in this video.

@JakeCande 2 жыл бұрын

you are wrong. it takes more than one flush to fully get all the contaminates out the old powers steering. i even show the color changes in the fluid so you can see when to stop. that’s why i talk for a minute why it’s important to use a clear container so you can maintain a visual when to stop.

Great video! But bro you better go out there right now and flush out all that fluid you put in there. That's definitely not the right fluid. I know you tried to do the right thing and bought the one that said Asian but prestone being racist trying to mess up are reliable cars. The cap on the reservoir clearly says what you need. Also like you said read your owners manual. The fluid this car needs is a type of transmission fluid which is red. So please flush out that out because he's corrosive just like brake fluid.. Wait that was brake fluid just with a different label. For real good video thou! I usually just drain and fill the reservoir but I'm gonna do this next time
