NISSAN 2013 GT R - Service & Maintenance Guide - Manual (Page 13)

The following descriptions are pro-
vided to give you a better understand-
ing of the scheduled maintenance
items
that should be regularly
checked or replaced. The mainte-
nance
log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item re-
quires service.
In addition to scheduled mainte-
nance, your NISSAN requires that
some items be checked during nor-
mal day-to-day operation. You can
find these items listed under “General
Maintenance” in Chapter 8 of your
Owner’s Manual.
Maintenance items and intervals
marked with “*” are recommended by
NISSAN for reliable vehicle opera-
tion. You are not required to perform
such maintenance in order to main-
tain the emission warranty or manu-
facturer recall liability.
When applicable, additional informa-
tion can be found in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section in Chapter
8 of your Owner’s Manual.
For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to
