The recommended power steering fluid for the 2012 Nissan Maxima is either Dexron III ATF fluid as specified by the manufacturer, or you can opt for Nissan's own OEM power steering fluid. Prices for the fluid range from $7 to $15 per quart. You can locate the reservoir under the hood in front of the engine on the passenger's side. To identify it as the power steering fluid reservoir, look for a black cap with a steering wheel symbol. Check the fluid level by inspecting the side of the reservoir where level indicators will indicate whether more fluid is needed or if it is full.
The recommended power steering fluid for a 2012 Nissan Maxima is CHF 11S synthetic hydraulic oil power steering fluid made by Pentosin, the original equipment manufacturer.
