The cap on the brake fluid reservoir of a 2008 Nissan Altima indicates the use of DOT 3 brake fluid. If you suspect that the fluid level is low, it's simple to check. Open the hood and locate the black cap near the windshield on the driver's side. The clear plastic reservoir has minimum and maximum level markings. If the fluid is below the minimum line, add more until it reaches the maximum line. You can buy a 12 oz bottle for around $3 to $4 to top up the levels.
The 2008 Nissan Altima uses Prestone 12-ounce DOT 3 brake fluid.
