GTR-4GT-R Overview
engine oils may cause internal engine �famage.
Engine oil maintenance
.When the �behicle is �feli�bere�f, the engine oil
le�bel is 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark on
the engine oil �fipstick for optimum high
performance �fri�bing. The engine oil can be
fille�f up to the H mark if not engaging in
performance �fri�bing.
. Because of the high performance character-
istics of the GT-R engine, more frequent oil
le�bel inspections are necessary. Check the
oil le�bel e�bery 1,800 miles (3,000 km) an�f
a�fjust as necessary. Also, change the
engine oil base�f on the �fri�bing con�fitions.
For the information regar�fing oil replace-
ment inter�bals, refer to the 2015 NISSAN
GT-R Ser�bice an�f Maintenance Gui�fe.
. Some amount of oil is consume�f by your
engine un�fer normal operating con�fitions,
an�f oil consumption by itself �foes not
necessarily in�ficate any malfunction. If your
rate of oil consumption increases su�f�fenly
or without explanation, NISSAN recom-
men�fs that you ha�be your �behicle inspecte�f
by a GT-R certifie�f NISSAN �fealer.
. For information about the oil replacement
inter�bals for performance �fri�bing, refer to the
inter�bal for replacing oil after high perfor- mance �fri�bing. (
“A�f�fitional mainte-
nance items” page GTR-12)
Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is change�f.
TRANSMISSION OIL
Genuine NISSAN Transmission Oil R35
Special (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a multiple-�fisc �fual wet clutch
transmission. The specially �fe�belope�f transmis-
sion oil maximizes the friction characteristics of
the clutch an�f the lubrication of the gear
bearings.
The use of additives is prohibited.
The use of a�f�fiti�bes or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
�famage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)
Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use only the Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION
type 2189E that can keep the oil temperature
low in or�fer to protect all parts of the �fifferential
an�f maximize the performance of the Limite�f
Slip Differential (LSD) .
The use of additives is prohibited.
Using a�f�fiti�bes or any other than the specifie�f �fifferential oil may cause the oil temperature to
increase an�f the final �fri�be to be �famage�f. Also
it may cause �bibration an�f a�f�bersely the �behicle
han�fling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUID
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Flui�f R35 Special II is
the factory fill brake flui�f. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit an�f other relate�f parts were
specially �fesigne�f for this brake flui�f. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper operation of the �behicle if
other brake flui�f is use�f.

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 e�fceed the normal
range, the color of the meter on the multi
function display changes to red to warn the
driver�b 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�b When the color of
the meter display changes to red, perform cool
down driving�b 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�b
Warning temperature:
.Engine coolant temperature is 2308 F
(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�b
. Engine oil temperature is 2758F (1358C) or
higher:
If the engine oil temperature is higher than
2758F (1358C), the meter display changes
to red, ma�fimum engine speed is automati-
cally limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmis-
sion automatically changes from the
&M
position to the&Aposition�b
. Transmission oil temperature is 2848 F
(1408C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature increases
to over 2848F (1408C) , the color of the
meter display changes to red�b However, the
vehicle can continue to be driven until the
temperature reaches 2958F (1468C) �b If the
oil temperature e�fceeds 284 8F (1408 C)
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�b
Cool down
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help e�ftend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are e�ftremely
high�b 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�b
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 ma�fimize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity�b The tank is also divided into
two parts�b 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�b
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full�b
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise�b Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually�b Also, if the

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
MechanismOperation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
.T�fe GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in �bonventional passenger �bars. T�fe GT-R uses a transmission gear
design, lig�ft flyw�feel and a dry sump lubri�bation system to provide maximum ve�fi�ble performan�be. Be�bause t�fe GT-R Transmission design
is different, noises may be louder. W�fen t�fe transmission temperature is �fig�f, rattling, s�faking and jarring noises may be �feard.
.Clattering noises may be �feard w�file s�fifting..Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to a�b�fieve smoot�f gear rotation and steady toot�f surfa�be lubri�bation under t�fe �fig�f-load

.If t�fe s�fift lever is moved from&Rto&A
F&Mposition, or&A
F&Mto&Rposition before t�fe ve�fi�ble stops, you may not be able to s�fift gear
or it may take longer to s�fift gear. Make sure to depress t�fe brake pedal and �b�fe�bk t�fat t�fe ve�fi�ble �fas stopped before s�fifting.
Multiple dis�b wet �blut�b�f
.W�fen stopping t�fe ve�fi�ble wit�f t�fe s�fift lever in t�fe&Ror&A
F&Mposition, be sure to firmly depress t�fe brake pedal. T�fe ve�fi�ble may
slowly move if t�fe brake pedal is not depressed.
.Avoid depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time. Depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time �bould
�bause t�fe �blut�b�f to over�feat and a�b�belerate deterioration.
.W�fen t�fe ve�fi�ble is stopped on a �fill, do not �fold t�fe ve�fi�ble in pla�be by depressing t�fe a�b�belerator pedal. Doing so may �bause t�fe �blut�b�f
to over�feat and result in transmission damage. Use t�fe brakes to prevent t�fe ve�fi�ble from moving.
Ele�btroni�b oil pressure

.W�fen t�fe transmission oil is extremely �bold or extremely �fot, t�fe transmission may feel like it is slipping during s�fifts or t�fere may be �fard
s�fifts. T�fis is normal. Transmission s�fifting s�fould return to normal w�fen t�fe transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.
.W�fen t�fe transmission oil temperature is extremely �bold, t�fe time required to run a system �b�fe�bk may in�brease. During t�fe system �b�fe�bk,
t�fe s�fift lever must stay in t�fe&Pposition. Move t�fe s�fift lever after turning off t�fe system �b�fe�bk display. Also, it is normal to �fear �bli�bking
noises during t�fe transmission systems �b�fe�bk.

Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
. Check fluid levels such as en�fine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid and �bindo�b �basher fluid as
frequently as possible, or at least �bhenever
you refuel.
. Check that all �bindo�bs and li�fhts are clean.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
. Lock all doors.
. Position seat.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passen�fers to
do like�bise.

“Warnin�f/indicator li�fhts
and audible reminders” pa�fe 2-25) NOTE:
.
This vehicle includes spark plugs that
are designed for maximum perfor-
mance. If the start time becomes long-
er, the plugs may be fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. If this occurs,
start the engine using the procedure
described in this section.
. A click sound may be heard when the
brake pedal is depressed and released.
This is normal.
. A low rattling operating sound may
occur when the engine is started or
stopped. This is because of the trans-
mission gear design, light flywheel and
dry sump lubrication system used in
this transmission. This does not indi-
cate that there is a malfunction. This
sound is likely to occur in particular if
the engine is stopped when the tem-
perature of the transmission oil is high.

NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide
antifreeze protection to í348 F
(í378C) . If additional freeze protec-
tion is needed due to weather where
you operate your vehicle, add Gen-
uine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) concentrate follow-
ing the directions on the container.
If an equivalent coolant other than
Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-
freeze/ Coolant (blue) is used, fol-
low the coolant manufacture’s
instructions to maintain minimum
antifreeze protection to í348 F
(í378C) . The use of other types of
coolant solutions other than Genu- ine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) or equivalent may
damage the engine cooling system.
. The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 24,000 miles (38,400 km)
or 2 years. Mixing any other type of
coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) ,
including Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green) , or
the use of nondistilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the
factory-fill coolant. Refer to the
GT-R Service and Maintenance
Guide for more details.
