This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant
is 24,000 miles (38,400 km) or 2 years.
Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the GT-R Service and Mainte-
nance Guide for more details.
If the cooling system frequently re-
quires coolant, it is recommended you
have it checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Check that the level of coolant is between
MAX and MIN on the pressurized radiator
reservoir. If the level is below the mid-
point, the amount of coolant circulating
may be insufficient for maximum vehicle
performance, possibly causing engine
overheating or other trouble.
For the coolant level and mixture ratio

NOTICE

Fuel containing MMTMMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting
additive. NISSAN does not recommend
the use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel
may adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including the emissions control
system. Note that while some fuel pumps
label MMT content, not all do, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details.Aftermarket fuel additives
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives
(Example: fuel injector cleaner, in-
take valve deposit removers, etc.)
which are sold commercially. Many
of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may con-
tain active solvent or similar ingre-
dients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.
