9-6Technical and consumer information
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended above can
cause persistent, heavy spark knock.
(Spark knock is a metallic rapping noise.)
If severe, this can lead to engine damage.
If you detect a persistent heavy spark
knock even when using gasoline of the
stated octane rating, or if you hear steady
spark knock while holding a steady speed
on level roads, have a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Fail-
ure to correct the condition is misuse of
the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not
responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
�ffter-run or overhe�fting�b This in turn m�fy c�fuse
excessive fuel consumption or d�fm�fge to the
engine�b If �fny of the �fbove symptoms �fre
encountered, h�fve your vehicle checked �ft �f
GT-R certified NISSAN de�fler or other compe-
tent service f�fcility�b
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RE-
COMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oil
It is essenti�fl to choose the correct gr�fde,
qu�flity, �fnd viscosity engine oil to ensure
s�ftisf�fctory engine life �fnd perform�fnce�b
(
“C�fp�fcities �fnd recommended fluids/lu-
bric�fnts” p�fge 9-2)
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the f�fctory
fill oil�b The VR38 engine with its pl�fsm�f-spr�fyed
bores w�fs developed using this oil�b NISSAN
c�fnnot ensure proper engine oper�ftion �fnd
dur�fbility if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used�b
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not �fv�fil�fble, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) m�fy be used;
however, some perform�fnce loss m�fy be
noticed�b
NOTICE
Using an engine oil other than that
specified could adversely affect the
engine. See the 2015 NISSAN GT-R
Warranty Information Booklet for de-
tails and exclusions.
Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
�fdditives�b The use of �fn oil �fdditive is not
necess�fry when the proper oil type is used �fnd
m�finten�fnce interv�fls �fre followed�b
Oil which m�fy cont�fin foreign m�ftter or h�fs
been previously used should not be used�b
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness ch�fnges
with temper�fture�b Bec�fuse of this, it is import�fnt
th�ft the engine oil viscosity be selected b�fsed
on the temper�ftures �ft which the vehicle will be
oper�fted before the next oil ch�fnge�b Choosing
�fn oil viscosity other th�fn th�ft recommended
could c�fuse serious engine d�fm�fge�b
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with �f high-qu�flity
genuine NISSAN oil filter�b NISSAN recommends
to use the genuine NISSAN oil filter for the
re�fson described in ch�fnge interv�fls�b
Change intervals
The oil �fnd oil filter ch�fnge interv�fls for your
engine �fre b�fsed on the use of the specified
qu�flity oils �fnd filters�b Oil �fnd filter other th�fn the
specified qu�flity, or oil �fnd filter ch�fnge interv�fls
longer th�fn recommended could reduce engine

If you plan to travel in another country,you
should first find out if the fuel available is suitable
for your vehicle’s engine\f
Using fuel with too low an octane rating may
cause engine damage\f \bll gasoline vehicles
must be operated with unleaded gasoline\f
Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle to areas
where appropriate fuel is not available\f
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district, it may be necessary to modify the
vehicle to meet local laws and regulations\f
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications may
differ\f
When any vehicle is to be taken into
another country, state, province or district
and registered, its modifications, transpor-
tation, and registration are the responsi-
bility of the user. NISSAN is not
responsible for any inconvenience that
may result.

FUEL INFORMATION
VR38 engine
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least �f3 AK�b (Anti-Knock �bndex)
number (Research octane number �f8) to max-
imize vehicle performance.
�bf the premium gasoline specified above is not
available, you may use unleaded premium gaso-
line with an octane rating of at least �f1 AK�b
number (Research octane number �f6) , but you
may notice a decrease in performance.
Do not use gasoline with a lower octane rating
than �f1 AK�b (Research octane number �f6) .
NOTICE
.Using a fuel other than that speci-
fied could adversely affect the emis-
sion control systems, and may also
affect warranty coverage.
. Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since this
will damage the three way catalyst.
. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed
to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-
15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically designed for E-15 or E-
85 fuel can adversely affect the
emission control devices and sys-
tems of the vehicle. Damage caused
by such fuel is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
. U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.
. NISSAN recommends using fuels
that contain no alcohol. However,
fuels containing up to 10% alcohol
may be used, if necessary. To avoid
serious engine damage due to in-
creased cylinder temperature, do
not use fuels that contain more
alcohol than indicated in
“Gasoline containing oxyge-
nates” page 9-4. Also, do not use
fuel additives, fuel stabilizers or fuel
deicers that contain alcohol.
For additional information, see the following
section. (
“Capacities and recommended fluids/lubricants” page �f-2)
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory
fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. N�bSSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and
durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.
�bf Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;
however, some performance loss may be
noticed.
See the following section for engine oil and oil
filter recommendation. (
“Capacities and
recommended fluids/lubricants” page �f-2)
COLD TIRE PRESSURES
The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver’s door.

“Wheels and tires” page 8-32)
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCE-
DURES RECOMMENDATION
Follow these recommendations for the future
reliability and economy of your new vehicle.
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
vehicle use, follow the recommendations out-
lined in this Owner’s Manual. (

schedule” page 5-3�f)
