In a 2008 Nissan Altima, you'll need Dexron-VI type ATF for the power steering fluid. The vehicle holds 3 quarts of this fluid, which makes steering smoother and transfers power to the steering system. It's recommended to replace the fluid every 2 years or between 20,000 to 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. The price per quart of fluid ranges from $8 to $15, meaning it will cost around $24 to $45 to fill up the 3 quarts completely. If you take your Altima to a mechanic for a fluid change, it can cost anywhere between $100 to $110. The process usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
