According to my service manuals the 08 Sentra has EPS or Electronic Power Steering and does not use any fluid or have a pump because it is an all electric system.
POWER STEERING PUMP IS USUALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR . YOU WILL SEE FAN BELTS AND PULLEYS CLOSE TO THE FIR WALL YOU SHOULD SEE A CAP THAT SAYS POWER STEERING
THE OIL TUBE IS BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE FIRE WALL YOU SHOULD SEE A YELLOW TEE HANDLE OR A RING FOR YOUR FINGER THIS IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. YOU MUST ALWAYS CHECK THE TRANS WHEN HOT AND RUNNING AND NEVER OVER FILL YOU WILL SEE SLASH MARKS ON THE STICK NEVER FILL ABOVE THE SLASH MARKS
Dexron-III is what's used in almost all vehicles (except some older
fords and chryslers), but you can check the owners' manual to be sure
(or call the nearest Nissan dealership).
I had this question initially. However, the Nissan Sentra (starting in 2007) has an electric Power Steering. It DOES NOT need any power steering fluid. The electric power steering is suppose to give you better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance cost.
I have a similar problem. The power steering felt jerky just the moment you start and drive off. My mechanic flushed out the old fluid with a power steering flush fluid and replenish with new fluid and that did the trick. The old fluid looked clean in the resovior but down in the steering rack, its a different story. The fluid is dark and contained some sludge. No wonder the steering assist was jerky.
