I need to add more power steering fluid, and I want to know if it requires special fluid or if the off-the-shelf power steering fluid will work.

Thanks.

Oh no no no, you must use only Nissan Power Steering fluid....... Just mess'n with you. As the above post stated, any off the shelf ps fluid will work just fine. I'm not as wealthy as he is so i used Auto Zone brand. I couldn't swing for the Royal Purple.LOL
WHoa...

Nissan recommends ATF for the power steering...Dex/Merc III or similar.

See here, from the FSM (MA-10) - - >

Regular PS fluid IS NOT the right thing to use...it will kill the pump, sooner or later. Seen it a million times on 240SX's.

Yeah, I have used all kinds of PS fluid in it, no troubles. It's just an oil pump. You could probably use hydraulic fluid from grandpa's tractor and it would work fine. Do whatever makes you sleep better.
