its ATTESA fluid. for your 4WD. just put power steering fluid in it. do a search on attessa reservoir or 4WD reservoir for more info.

The recommended fluid is some kind of Nissan fluid, I think its Nissan D-matic or similar. Search for ATTESA or ATTESA fluid change or similar, you will find the info you need....

You can use Brake Fluid. Thats what I did and it fix the problem.

Brake fluid???? Are you sure?

GeeTR thats correct, the recommended fluid from memory is ATF III (power steering fluid). although Nissan recommends the Nissan D-matic stuff...(slightly different to ATF III).

Personally I use a synthetic ATF III which is supposedly compatible with Nissan D-matic (according to East Coast Autospares)/

i wouldn't use brake fluid. Like whats already been said, Dexron III ATF/Power Steering fluid is the stuff.

Brake fluid!!!!!!!! hmmm................mate that works on GTR's recomended me to use dexIII or the genuine ( nissan ATF ) on low powered GTR anything with large amount of horsepower he said use a synthetic ATF or hydralic oil......

seems to work well

Brake fluid is used as an old trick to breathe some life back into old hard seals. It was used in automatic transmissions which also use ATF with the same purpose of helping soften old hard o-rings. As the o-rings are what prevents/directs the ATF through the transfer case / auto transmission, when they go hard they leak fluid past. However it is never used alone, only as an additive to the correct ATF. These days there are specially formulated additives to do the same job.
