GTR-4GT-R Overview
sive compounds or other high performance
engine oils may cause internal engine damage.
Engine oil maintenanceGUID-7CDFA496-5639-4F1E-8F03-08DB5D2863B9.When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
level is 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark on
the engine oil dipstick for optimum high
performance driving. The engine oil can be
filled up to the H mark if not engaging in
performance driving.
. Because of the high performance character-
istics of the GT-R engine, more frequent oil
level inspections are necessary. Check the
oil level every 1,800 miles (3,000 km) and
adjust as necessary. Also, change the
engine oil based on the driving conditions.
For the information regarding oil replace-
ment intervals, refer to the 2017 NISSAN
GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide.
. 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.
. For information about the oil replacement
intervals for performance driving, refer to the interval for replacing oil after high perfor-
mance driving. (
ªAdditional mainte-
nance itemsº page GTR-12)
Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is changed.
TRANSMISSION OILGUID-33530AE7-DE21-4F44-BDD8-78982F22D846Genuine NISSAN Transmission Oil R35
Special (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a multiple-disc dual wet clutch
transmission. The specially developed transmis-
sion oil maximizes the friction characteristics of
the clutch and the lubrication of the gear
bearings.
The use of additives is not recommended.
The use of additives or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
damage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)GUID-02DD11D6-4B01-4B02-9F92-7324C1E986B1Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E or equivalent that can keep the oil
temperature low in order to protect all parts of
the differential and maximize the performance of
the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) . The use of additives is not recommended.
Using additives or any other than the specified
differential oil may cause the oil temperature to
increase and the final drive to be damaged. Also
it may cause vibration and adversely the vehicle
handling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUIDGUID-80CC3CF4-48F5-411D-9F49-53C93F4A64F4Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II is
the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were

.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.

Aftermarket fuel additivesGUID-E35DB2CE-4B2A-43A8-8EFC-14E1686FBCF2
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives (Ex-
ample: fuel injector cleaner, intake
valve deposit removers, etc.) which are
sold commercially. Many of these ad-
ditives intended for gum, varnish or
deposit removal may contain active
solvent or similar ingredients that can
be harmful to the fuel system and
engine.
Octane rating tipsGUID-AB3A7D1F-9988-4771-A998-C4AEF3B5353FUsing 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, it is recommended you havea GT-R certified NISSAN dealer correct the
condition. Failure to correct the condition
is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN
is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
after-run or overheating. This in turn may cause
excessive fuel consumption or damage to the
engine. If any of the above symptoms are
encountered, it is recommended you have your
vehicle checked at a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer or other competent service facility.
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-

Selecting the correct oilGUID-878F1CD4-7741-4A11-ABA4-AA924EE0D79CIt is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance.
(
ªCapacities and recommended fluids/lu-
bricantsº page 9-2)
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and
durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;
however, some performance loss may be
noticed.
NOTICE
Using an engine oil other than that
specified could adversely affect the
engine. See the 2017 NISSAN GT-R
Warranty Information Booklet for de-
tails and exclusions.
Oil additivesGUID-74B2A1BE-EF2D-49ED-86BB-0BA5671DA592NISSAN 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 followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has
been previously used should not be used.
Oil viscosityGUID-A93C5DED-BCB7-4F12-A432-606D02BBE8D6The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
Page 358 of 386
> ( G L W 0 R G H O 0 < 1 , 6 6 $ 1 * 7 5 5 2 0 ( 5 8 @
that the engine oil viscosity be selected based
on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change. Choosing
an oil viscosity other than that recommended
could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filterGUID-9C1D06C4-B0CF-480B-AAFF-B80CF93BE414Your 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.
Change intervalsGUID-17139FA2-307F-47D1-A271-9E0FDE05DA82The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Oil and filter other than the
specified quality, or oil and filter change intervals
longer than recommended could reduce engine
life. Damage to engines caused by improper
maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter
quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited warranties.
Your engine was filled with a high quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle. Operation under
the following conditions may require more
frequent oil and filter changes..
repeated short distance driving at cold
outside temperatures
. driving in dusty conditions
. extensive idling
. stop and go ªrush hourº traffic
Refer to the ªNISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guideº for the maintenance schedule.

FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RE-
COMMENDATIONS
GUID-AE159D5E-619E-4269-9B7E-DF47DC535D6BThe air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the
lubricant, NISSAN UV Luminous Oil Type
S or the exact equivalents.
NOTICE
The use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe damage to
the air conditioning system and will
require the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth's ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the earth's atmosphere, certain governmental
regulations require the recovery and recycling of
any refrigerant during automotive air condition-
ing system service. Your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer has the trained technicians and equip-
ment needed to recover and recycle your air
conditioning system refrigerant.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer when servicing your air con-
ditioning system.
