Fuel containing MMTMMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting
additive. NISSAN does not recommend
the use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel
may adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including the emissions control
system. Note that while some fuel pumps
label MMT content, not all do, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details.Aftermarket fuel additives
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives
(Example: fuel injector cleaner, in-
take valve deposit removers, etc.)
which are sold commercially. Many
of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may con-
tain active solvent or similar ingre-
dients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.

Oil additivesNISSAN does not recommend the use of
oil additives. The use of an oil additive is
not necessary when the proper oil type is
used and maintenance intervals are fol-
lowed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.Oil viscosityThe engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important that the engine oil
viscosity be selected based on the tem-
peratures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change.
Choosing an oil viscosity other than that
recommended could cause serious en-
gine damage.Selecting the correct oil filterYour new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. NISSAN
recommends to use the genuine NISSAN
oil filter for the reason described in
change intervals.

Transmission clutch temperature high:
The light illuminates if clutch temperature
becomes unusually high. If the light
illuminates, pull off the road in a safe area
and idle the engine. When the light turns
off, driving can be resumed. If the light
illuminates frequently, it is recommended
you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er.
NOTICE
.Continuing to drive with the light
on could cause serious damage
to the transmission.
. If the light continues to illumi-
nate, the vehicle cannot be driven
because the engine output may
be reduced and the clutch may be
reduced to keep the clutch disen-
gaged.

If the R mode start function is used 4
times continuously, the function may be
disabled and cannot be turned on for
