NISSAN GT-R 2018 Owners Manual

NOTICE
It is recommended that you only use
the following specified fluids and
parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.ENGINE OILMobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil)
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 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.
Furthermore, replacement of the engine
oil with MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL
type 2193E(5W40) is recommended for
the frequent high performance driving
opportunities.
NISSAN cannot ensure proper engine
operation and durability if other synthetic
oil is used.
The use of additives, chemical materials
or abrasive compounds is prohibited.The use of additives, chemical materials,
abrasive compounds or other high per-
formance engine oils may cause internal
engine damage.
Engine oil maintenance

ensure the resistance strength and
creeping characteristics against high ex-
haust gas temperature. In addition,
further cooling effects are secured by
taking in air through the duct on the
undercover, to cool the area around the
muffler, and by applying partial plate
thickness reduction. Since genuine tita-
nium mufflers are made of titanium alloy,
the surface color will change depending
on the driving conditions, which is not
unusual. Prior to shipping from factory, all
vehicles receive balance aligning for en-
gine, transmission, and clutch, as well as
quench driving of brake pads and rotors.
As a result, the muffler surface color may
differ depending on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet from the
vehicle for any reason. The carpet insu-
lates the vehicle interior from the heat of
the muffler and from the noise of the
transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to
the Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease
adhere to the muffler surface, the color of
this area will be different from that of the
surrounding area. To remove the oil or
grease, check that the surface tempera-
ture of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it witha brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth
and gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to
dry. Be careful not to allow the brake
cleaner to splatter on rubber parts, bum-
per, etc.

NOTICE

Cool downThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the
life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures
are extremely high. 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.Refueling precautions
