PRECAUTIONS ON PERFORMANCE
DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Checking the temperature of the
coolant and oils on the multi func-
tion display
When the temperatures of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal
range, the color of the meter on the multi
function display changes to red to warn the
driver. When engaging in high performance
driving, switch the display to the function meter
to display the temperature of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure. When the color of
the meter display changes to red, perform cool
down driving. When the values of the tempera-
ture and pressure return to the normal range, the
color of the meter display will turn back to white.
Warning temperature:
.Engine coolant temperature is 2308F
(1108C) or higher:
If the engine coolant temperature increases
above 2308F (1108C) , the color of the meter
display on the multi function display changes
to red to warn of a possible overheat condition and engine output is reduced.
. Engine oil temperature is 2758F (1358C) or
higher:
If the engine oil temperature is higher than
2758F (1358C), the meter display changes
to red, maximum engine speed is automati-
cally limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmis-
sion automatically changes from the
&M
position to the&Aposition.
. Transmission oil temperature is 2848F
(1408C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature increases
to over 2848F (1408C) , the color of the
meter display changes to red. However, the
vehicle can continue to be driven until the
temperature reaches 2958F (1468C) . If the
oil temperature exceeds 2848F (1408C)
while driving (the color of the meter dis-
played in red) , change both the transmission
oil and the differential oil after driving
because these fluids have deteriorated
because of the heat.
Cool down
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h) , in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine.
Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the

vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
vehicle has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Fluids
.Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under vehicle surfaces for oil and
coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as neces-
sary using the specified fluid as described
under the conditions listed in this section.
(
ªRecommended fluids and mainte-
nance intervalº page GTR-19 ) If you do
not drive under the conditions listed, refer to
the 2016 NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide.
. NISSAN recommends to adjust the engine
oil level
*1to be 0.39 in (10 mm) (1/8 gal
(0.5 liters))
*2below the H mark on the
engine oil dipstick. (
*3range is 1.18 in (30
mm) .) Before checking the oil level, run the
engine until it reaches operating tempera-
ture and wait at least 5 minutes after turning
off the engine. Make sure the oil level always
remains above the L mark.
When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
is set to ªH- 0.39 in (10 mm)º for optimal
high performance driving.
. Some amount of oil is consumed by your
engine under normal operating conditions,
and oil consumption by itself does not necessarily indicate any malfunction. If your
rate of oil consumption increases suddenly
or without explanation, NISSAN recom-
mends that you have your vehicle inspected
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
