itsmyR32gtr Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have checked the oil in the rear resevior and it smells alot like gear oil. I thought it was meant to have automatic transmission fluid. Is this right? Also how do I drain it and refill it? Any help would be appreciated.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Is the rear reservoir you talking about, on the right hand side, covered up by a side panel, in the boot? If so, I believe that is the HICAS. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380929-what-oil/#findComment-6081330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRsean Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It's the ATTESSA awd system pump reservior, RHS in boot. Nissan matic D. The Power steering reservior under the bonnet, behind the airbox does the front and rear steering racks (HICAS), due to the dual pump, power steering pump. Power steering fluid. (R33 and 34s run single power steering pump and electric power steering at the back).

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes,thats the one. Which oil does it use? From memory when my HICAS light came up, my mechanics topped up that reservoir with a little bit of Power Steering fluid to the MAX Level Line and all was good. Light never came back on. So I assume it's Power Steering fluid... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380929-what-oil/#findComment-6082113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind_elk Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I just use Castrol autotrans fluid, which is red. Also, you need to have the ignition ON before you check the level in the ATTESSA reservoir.

If it's just for a top up, just use a bit of gear oil (Or whatever you think is there at the moment). Won't hurt it.
