GT-R Overview

engine oils may cause internal engine damage.

Engine oil maintenance

.

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 2015 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. (

“Additional mainte-

nance items” page GTR-12)

Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is changed.

TRANSMISSION OIL

Genuine 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 prohibited.
The use of additives or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
damage.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)

Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use only the Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION
type 2189E 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 prohibited.
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 FLUID

Genuine 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
specially designed for this brake fluid. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper operation of the vehicle if
