6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.

NOTE:
. It is normal to add some oil between oil

maintenance intervals or during the
break-in period, depending on the
severity of operating conditions. More
engine oil is consumed by frequent
acceleration/deceleration especially
when the engine rpm is high. If your
rate of oil consumption increases sud-
denly or without explanation, NISSAN
recommends that you have your vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

. When the vehicle is delivered, the

engine oil is set to 0.39 in (10 mm)
below the H mark for optimal high
performance driving. The engine oil can
be filled up to the H mark if perfor-
mance driving is not engaged.

NOTICE

. 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 opera-
tion 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.

. Oil level should be checked regu-

larly. Operating the engine with an
insufficient amount of oil can da-
mage the engine. See the 2014
NISSAN GT-R Warranty Information
Booklet for details including applic-
able exclusions.
