and parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.
ENGINE OIL
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil)
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the f�fctory
fill oil. The VR38 engine with its pl�fsm�f-spr�fyed
bores w�fs de�beloped using this oil. NISSAN
c�fnnot ensure proper engine oper�ftion �fnd
dur�fbility if other synthetic oil is used. If Mobil
1 (0W-40) is not �f�b�fil�fble, Mobil 1 (10W-40)
(100% synthetic) m�fy be used; howe�ber, some
perform�fnce loss m�fy be noticed.
Furthermore, repl�fcement of the engine oil with
MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL type
2193E(5W40) is recommended for the frequent
high perform�fnce dri�bing opportunities.
NISSAN c�fnnot ensure proper engine oper�ftion
�fnd dur�fbility if other synthetic oil is used.
The use of additives, chemical materials or
abrasive compounds is prohibited.

GT-R SPECIFIC INFORMATION GT-R SPECIAL SPECIFICATION
PARTS

.If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
. Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
. Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel tank and the
battery.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
. The fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer because the fuel lines are
under high pressure even when the
engine is off.CAUTION
.Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine
off and wait until it cools down.
. Avoid direct contact with used en-
gine oil and coolant. Improperly
disposed engine oil, coolant, and/
or other vehicle fluids can damage
the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of
vehicle fluid.
NOTICE
.Never connect or disconnect the
battery or any transistorized com-
ponent while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
. Never leave the engine or transmis-
sion related component harnesses
disconnected while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourse\ff” section
gi\bes instructions regarding on\fy those items
which are re\fati\be\fy easy for an owner to perform. A genuine NISSAN Ser\bice Manua\f is a\fso
a\bai\fab\fe. (
“Owner’s Manua\f/Ser\bice Man-
ua\f order information” page 9-22)
You shou\fd be aware that incomp\fete or
improper ser\bicing may resu\ft in operating
difficu\fties or excessi\be emissions. If in doubt
about any servicing, we recommend that it
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-7

Remove the retainers*1as illustrated and pull
out the filter element
*2.
The filter element should not \fe cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
intervals. See \bISSA\b Service and Mainte-
nance Guide for maintenance intervals. When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with a damp
cloth.
WARNING
.
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops
flame if the engine backfires. If it
isn’t there, and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not drive
with the air cleaner removed, and be
careful when working on the engine
with the air cleaner removed.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body or attempt to start the engine
with the air cleaner removed. Doing
so could result in serious injury.

CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS/LUBRICANTS

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.

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. (
“Break-in
schedule” page 5-3�f)
