ABOUT GT-R MAINTENANCE
< FEATURES OF NEW MODEL >
FEATURES OF NEW MODEL
Description INFOID:0000000011487227
The GT-R is equipped with special systems. These systems are different from those used on conventional
vehicles to allow for the high performance driving characteristics of the vehicle. The GT-R should be main-
tained by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Special skill, knowledge and equipment are necessary to properly inspect and adjust the GT-R engine, trans-
mission, suspension and brakes to maintain performance. A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer has the GT-R certi-
fied technical staff and the special equipment to properly maintain the GT-R.
The installation/use of parts other than genuine NISSAN parts, fluids and lubricants may cause the vehicle to
malfunction (i.e. cease functioning normally, damage vehicle parts) and result in the vehicle requiring non-war-
ranty protected repairs. NISSAN recommends maintenance items that require the replacement of parts,
engine oil, oil filters and air filters, should be performed by a GT-R certified dealer. Make sure the specified flu-
ids and parts are used when the maintenance is performed. NISSAN also recommends the replacement of
parts such as the brakes should be performed by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
GT-R Special Specification Parts INFOID:0000000011487228
CAUTION:
Only use the following required fluids and parts in the GT-R to avoid possible vehicle damage.
ENGINE OIL
Mobil 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 0W-40 syn-
thetic oil is used. If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1 (10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used; how-
ever, some performance loss may be noticed. Furthermore, replacement of the engine oil with MOTUL NISMO
COMPETITION OIL type 2193E (5W-40) is recommended for frequent high performance driving opportunities.
The use of additives, chemical materials or abrasive compounds is prohibited.
The use of additives, chemical materials, abrasive compounds or other high performance 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 dip-
stick 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 characteristics 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.
• Some amount of oil is consumed by your engine under normal operating conditions, and oil consumption by
itself does not necessarily indicate any malfunction.
• For information about the oil replacement intervals for performance driving, refer to the interval for replacing
oil after high performance driving.
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 transmission oil maxi-
mizes 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 A
the final drive to be damaged. Also it may cause vibration and adversely the vehicle handling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUID
B
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 opera-
tion of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used. C
TIRES AND ROAD WHEELS

Tires D
The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat tires and matching road wheels. Use of these specially developed
tires and wheels provides the greatest potential for maximum performance.
• Using non-genuine GT-R tires may cause power train system damage if the vehicle is driven in a flat tire sit- E
uation, even if run flat tires are used. This may also prevent the vehicle from being stopped safely.
• Using non-genuine GT-R tires may also cause tire failure due to excessive heat buildup caused by tire dis-
tortion while driving.
• Using non-genuine GT-R tires may affect the operation of the VDC system. F
Tire replacement:
• When tire replacement is required, replacing tires as a set of four with new tires is recommended. However,
if a tire is punctured or damaged, it may be possible to replace only the damaged tire. Determining whether G
one tire or a complete set of tires should be replaced is based on a number of factors including tire wear and
condition.
• The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat tires which have a rigid side wall. Special equipment and proce- H
dures are required when replacing these tires.
• Specific tire changing equipment must be used to remove the GT-R tires from the wheel and to install the GT-
R tires onto the wheel. It is only possible to reuse the tires when they have no cracks and/or deformations on
the bead portion of the tire. If the incorrect equipment is used to remove the GT-R tires from the wheel and to I
install the GT-R tires onto the wheel, cracks and deformation may occur on the bead portion of the tires
meaning that the tires cannot be reused.
J
Road wheels
Using non-genuine GT-R wheels may cause the following:
• vehicle vibration
• the tire coming loose from the wheel during a flat tire K
• reduced wheel lug nut tightness
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
This vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston monoblock calipers. L
This helps to achieve excellent stopping performance and fade-resistance.
Using non-genuine GT-R Brake pads or rotors can affect vehicle braking performance and the operation of the
ABS and VDC system. M
Replacement of brake pads and disc rotors
NISSAN generally recommends to replace all four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the same time to main-
tain maximum brake performance. N
However, replacing only the brake pads may be allowed in some cases (four wheels or only front wheels
depending on the conditions). A GT-R certified technician must inspect the vehicle and determine that only the
brake pads need to be replaced. In this case, replacing all brake pads and disc rotors as a set is not neces-
O
sary.
Note that the replacement of brake pads and the disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should be performed
when a GT-R certified technician determines that this is the correct repair.
If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the winter and the surface becomes hot due to a heavy force MA
being applied repeatedly to the brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole on the surface of the disc
rotor. Cracks may also occur due to a heavy force being repeatedly applied to the brakes during high perfor-
mance driving. In these cases it may be necessary to replace the disc rotors or brake pads depending on the
condition of the crack.
EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK CARPET
The GT-R exhaust system is designed to provide the maximum vehicle performance and to protect the vehicle
from high exhaust gas temperatures.

If non-genuine GT-R specification parts are used it is possible that the muffler or other exhaust system parts
will deform and cause damage to the underbody. Non-genuine GT-R specification parts can also affect vehicle
performance and possibly lead to turbocharger, engine or power train related parts including transmission,
damage.
Also, do not remove the trunk carpet from the vehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the vehicle interior
from the heat of the muffler and from the noise of the transmission.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK CARPET (if so equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with a label under the console lid that provides the body to the titanium muffler clear-
ance specification (for example rear bumper to muffler tube clearance).
Since the exhaust gas temperature of the high performance engine reaches a high temperature (1,832°F
(1,000°C) or more), the muffler may be deformed or lowered due to the heat and then the underbody or
peripheral parts may be damaged. Therefore, periodic inspections for the clearance between the muffler and
the peripheral parts are required.
Your GT-R has been tested on a test circuit to ensure the suspension components “settle” prior to shipping.
Following this circuit test the odometer reading at the time of vehicle shipment is as listed.
Please note a small amount of additional mileage may have been added in the subsequent onward transpor-
tation. In addition your GT-R has been inspected and tested by the factory test personnel.
The titanium muffler specifications are provided on a label under the console lid should the muffler need to be
adjusted. Please do not remove the label from the console lid. See a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
detailed information.
If a non-genuine titanium muffler is used, the muffler may become deformed and damage the underbody due
to the high performance engine reaching high exhaust gas temperatures (1,832°F (1,000°C) or more). The
highest-class titanium alloy is used for genuine parts to ensure the resistance strength and creeping charac-
teristics against high exhaust gas temperature. In addition, further cooling effects are secured by adopting
additional cooling fins and by applying partial plate thickness reduction. Since genuine titanium 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 engine, 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 insulates 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 temperature of the muffler has cooled, wash the area with
a neutral detergent, wipe it with a 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, bumper, etc.
DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so equipped)
Because of the characteristics of the material, the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to exposure to
ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry carbon fiber parts are coated with a special ultraviolet protection paint. To
maintain the appearance of these parts, it is important to take proper care of them.
NOTICE:
• Do not use compound agents on clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts (such as the NISMO model's bumper,
side sill protector, rear spoiler, etc.).
• Do not use any chemical agents (wax, coating agent, compound agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry carbon
fiber parts (such as the rear diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of specifications other than NISMO, etc.).
• When dry carbon fiber parts become dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solution by mixing one capful of mild
detergent in a bucket of water, and use that mixture to clean the parts.
NOTE:
The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts are lightly coated like a race car so that you can feel the proper tex-
ture of real carbon, which may feel rough. This is normal.
ATTE PAINT (if so equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with matte paint, special care is necessary to clean your vehicle to maintain the
appearance of the matte paint.

gine. Wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before LU-8
checking the oil.
Power steering fluid level Check the level when the fluid is cold, with the engine off. Check the lines for
MA-46
and lines improper attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
Exhaust system Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex- MA-31
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes in the engine com- MA-31
partment, immediately have the exhaust system inspected by a GT-R certified MA-32
NISSAN dealer. MA-33
Underbody The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
—
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
—
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.

Explanation of Performance Optimization Services INFOID:0000000011487230
In addition to the regular maintenance recommended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the following Inspections; B
• Measurement and adjustment of wheel Alignment
• Transmission settings
• Checking the exhaust finisher and rear bumper clearance C
These inspections are required at the following intervals: 1,000 miles, 12 months, 24 months and 36 months.
These inspections will be performed free of charge for labor at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer only. See the D
NISSAN GT-R Warranty Information Booklet for details.
After the four free inspections, these items are included in the regular scheduled maintenance.
E
*Repairs and adjustments involving part replacement, etc. determined to be necessary as a result of these
inspections must be performed at the customer's expense.

• This vehicle is equipped with a high performance suspension. The vehicle's wheel alignment needs to be K
measured and adjusted (if necessary) by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as necessary as the vehicle is
driven and the suspension parts break-in.Whether the vehicle is primarily for city driving or high performance
driving, settings can be performed according to the customer's needs. L
Preventing toe-out:
Regarding the amount of toe-in, because toe-out causes lopsided wear on the tires or damage to localized
areas inside the tires due to heat generation, be sure to adjust to toe-in. Also, heat may be generated in
localized areas if the toe-in amount is excessive. Particularly when engaging in high performance driving or M
driving at extremely high speed, be sure to adjust the front toe-in to 0.059 in (1.5 mm) or less, and rear toe-
in to 0.079 in (2.0 mm) or less. Any damage caused by failing to adjust the toe-in within the specified range
will not be covered by warranty. N
• The design of the clutch and transmission requires inspection and adjustment of the clutch and shift forks by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer at the recommended intervals. If the transmission setting is not complete,
excessive loads may be applied to the transmission and power train system parts during starting and shift-
ing, which may result in a malfunction or damage. Refer to TM-20, "MAINTENANCE : Description (GT-R cer- O
tified NISSAN dealer)".

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
A
Description INFOID:0000000011487235
The information and specifications below apply only when engaging in performance driving. B
The following information applies only if the owners engage in performance driving such as driving your GT-R
for extended periods under the following conditions.
• Higher-RPM (approaching red line) operation
• Frequent high pedal force braking from moderate and higher speeds C
• Frequent throttle activation
• Fast revving throughout the RPM range
In such cases, the following additional maintenance guidelines apply. D
We recommend that all GT-R maintenance be performed at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. NISSAN will only
pay for NISSAN GT-R Performance Optimization Services performed at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Precautions on Performance Driving INFOID:0000000011487236 E
Checking the temperature of the coolant and oils on the multifunction display.
F
When the temperatures of the engine coolant and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal range, the color
of the meter on the multifunction display turns red to warn the driver.
When engaging in high performance driving, switch the display to the function meter to display the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant and oil, and the oil pressure. When the color of the meterdisplay turns red, perform G
cool down driving. When the values of the temperature and pressure return to the normal range, the color of
the meter display will turn back to white.
H
Warning temperature:
• Engine coolant temperature: 230°F (110°C) or higher*1
• Engine oil temperature: 275°F (135°C) or higher*1 I
• Transmission oil temperature: 284°F (140°C) or higher*2

*1: If the engine coolant temperature increases above 230°F (110°C), the color of the meter display changes to red to warn of a possible J
overheat condition and engine output is reduced. When the engine oil temperature is higher than 275°F (135°C), the meter display
changes to red maximum engine speed is automatically limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmission automatically changes from the M
position to the A position.
*2: If the transmission oil temperature increases to over 284°F (140°C), the color of the meter display on the multi function display K
changes to red. However, the vehicle can continue to be driven until the temperature reaches 295°F (146°C). If the oil temperature
exceeds 248°F (140°C) while driving (the color of the meter display turns red), change both the transmission and the differential oil after
driving because these fluids have deteriorated because of the heat. L
COOL DOWN
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 M
engine.
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
N
WARNING:
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank is full at the
first automatic shutoff. O
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is located as low as possible to lower the vehicle center of
gravity. The tank is also divided into two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher pressures inside the tank
than other vehicles so fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the fuel tank after automatic shutoff. MA
When more than half of the fuel remains in the tank, the pressure and temperature in the fuel tank may
increase. This may cause evaporated fuel spray and a hissing sound when the fuel cap is opened. It may be
difficult to refuel the vehicle, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
This phenomenon may not occur after the temperature inside the fuel tank decreases.
To avoid the above phenomenon, open the cap gently to gradually release the pressure from the tank, then
slowly refuel the vehicle.

Inspection and Adjustments before Performance Driving INFOID:0000000011487237
The information and specifications below apply only when engaging in performance driving.
FLUIDS
• Check the engine, transmission, differential and under vehicle surfaces for oil and coolant leaks.
• Check the fluid levels and adjust as necessary using the specified fluid as described under the conditions
listed in RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.
• NISSAN recommends to adjust the engine oil level to be 0.4 in (10 mm)(1/2 US qt (0.5 liter)) below the H
mark on the engine oil dipstick.
Before checking the oil level, run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and wait at least 5 min-
utes after turning off the engine. Make sure the oil level always remains above the L mark.
When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil is set to “H - 0.4 in (10 mm)” for optimal high performance driv-
ing.
• Adjust the power steering fluid level to the R mark on the power steering dipstick when the fluid temperature
is hot or when the fluid temperature is cold.
Fluid temperature:
Hot: 122 to 176°F (50 to 80°C)
Cold: 32 to 86°F (0 to 30°C)
COOLANT LEVEL and MIXTURE RATIO
Check the coolant level in the pressurized coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the fluid is between the
MAX marking. For the coolant, use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Coolant.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the coolant. This may increase the pressure in the cooling system and cause coolant
leaks.
To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant mixture ratio should be a combination of 30% coolant/antifreeze
and 70% demineralized or distilled water for maximum cooling system performance regardless of ambient
temperatures.
If ambient temperatures are anticipated below 5°F (–15°C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water mix is used.
ENGINE and POWERTRAIN
• Inspect the areas surrounding of the catalytic converter for heat deterioration.
• Check the engine, transmission, differential and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.
• Always perform the transmission setting. After that, adjust the clutch clearance so that the clearance is
smaller than the usual clearance. Large clutch clearance increases clutch heat generation. This leads to an
increase in temperature of the transmission oil. In addition, a more direct shifting feel can be obtained by
adjusting the clearance to be small. Perform the adjustment again after High Performance Driving.
CAUTION:
Failure to have the clutch properly adjusted before performance driving may cause the transmission
oil temperature to increase which may cause transmission damage.
• Inspect to see whether the clearance between the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is maintained at above
0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and above 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right).
• Inspect drive shaft universal joint dust boots for cracks and damage. Replace as necessary.
SUSPENSION and WHEEL ALIGNMENT
• Check the steering and suspension system and other links for loose and/or damaged parts.
• Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.
Preventing toe-out:
Regarding the amount of toe-in, because toe-out causes lopsided wear on the tires or damage to localized
areas inside the tires due to heat generation, be sure to adjust to toe-in. Also, heat may be generated in local-
ized areas if the toe-in amount is excessive. Particularly when engaging in high performance driving or driving
at extremely high speed, be sure to adjust the front toe-in to 0.059 in (1.5 mm) or less, and rear toe-in to 0.079
in (2.0 mm) or less. Any damage caused by failing to adjust the toe-in within the specified range will not be
covered by warranty.
Excessive toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or damage to areas inside the tires due to high heat. Be sure to
have the wheel alignment toe setting checked and adjusted before any performance driving.
WHEELS and TIRES
• Check tire wear and cracking.
• Inspect the tire side wall for damage.
• Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure as necessary when the tires are cold.

Tire pressure:
When the tire temperature has increased after the vehicle was driven at high speed or you have engaged in A
high performance driving, adjust the tire pressure as follows to balance the rigidity between the front and rear
tires.
B
Condition Pressure PSI (kPa)
Front: 30.5 (210)
Starting to drive (Tires are cold)
Rear: 29 (200)
C
Front: Not exceeding 39.2 (270)
Increasing tire pressure (Tires are hot)
Rear: Not exceeding 37.8 (260)
The tire pressure changes depending on the outside temperature or altitude. Check the tire pressure regularly D
and when the climate conditions change.
WARNING:
Keep your tires inflated to the correct tire pressure. Driving with low tire pressure can damage some
E
powertrain systems and affect the operation of the ABS and VDC systems. Low tire pressure may also
cause tire failure and result in serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed and that the valve stem is tight. When installing the cap, make
sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a tool is used to tighten the cap, the cap may be damaged. F
• Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
• Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
• Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the valve core and the valve cap of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
G
System (TPMS) sensor attached to the wheel every 3 years for performance driving use. Replace them
every 5 years even when not engaging in performance driving. A dirty grommet seal will cause the air leak
from the tire.
• Make sure that the TPMS sensor installation nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there is no nitrogen H
leak.
• Use only a NISSAN genuine valve cap or equivalent.
• Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel rotates smoothly without any friction. Check these with the tires I
removed whenever an inspection is performed with the vehicle jacked up.
• Secure road wheel balance weights with aluminum tape.
• Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.
• Make sure the tire has not slipped on the wheel causing the assembly to be out of balance. The reference J
marks on the tire and wheel should be aligned. If the reference marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires rebalanced. Make sure the old reference marks are erased and new refer-
ence marks are applied to the wheel and tire. When installing new tires on the wheels, make sure new refer- K
ence marks are applied to the wheels and tires.
BRAKES
• Check for the heat deterioration of the brakes and parts around the brakes. L
• It is recommended that you remove air from the brake system after any of the following:
- When engaging in high performance driving for the first time after purchasing a new vehicle.
- After replacing the brake fluid.
M
- When engaging in high performance driving for a sustained period of time.
It is recommended that bleeding the brake be performed when the brake calipers are hot (about 212°F
(100°C)).
• Remove the grease of the front brake pads completely. N
Brake Pad Brake-in Procedure:
NISSAN recommends performing the brake pad break in procedure until the surface of the brake pad is cov-
ered with a 0.04 to 0.08 in (1 to 2 mm) thick white coating. To achieve this result the temperature of the brake O
pads must reach 1,112°F (600°C). To achieve this result perform the following:
• Drive the vehicle at a speed of 75 MPH (120 km/h) and slow down to 12 MPH (20 km/h) with a 0.6G rate of
braking. Repeat this procedure about 15 times.
• Cool down the brakes by driving at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 MA
km) after the break in procedure is completed.
CAUTION:
Never perform the break in procedure on a public road.
Inspection and Adjustments after Performance Driving INFOID:0000000011487238
NOTE:

At the completion of performance driving, all fluids and adjustments should be returned to their normal condi-
tions and settings as specified.
FLUIDS
• Check the engine, transmission, differential and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.
• Check the fluid levels and adjust as necessary using the specified fluid as described under the conditions
listed in RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND MAINTENANCE INTERVAL. If you do not drive under the condi-
tions listed, refer to the applicable NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide.
• When changing fluids, be sure to use the specified fluids as described in the RECOMMENDED FUELS/
LUBRICANTS Chart in the Technical and Consumer Information section of owner's manual.

SUSPENSION and WHEEL ALIGNMENT

• Check the steering and suspension system and other links for loose and/or damaged parts. B
• Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.
Preventing Toe-out:
Regarding the amount of toe-in, because toe-out causes lopsided wear on the tires or damage to localized C
areas inside the tires due to heat generation, be sure to adjust to toe-in. Also, heat may be generated in local-
ized areas if the toe-in amount is excessive. Particularly when engaging in high performance driving or driving
at extremely high speed, be sure to adjust the front toe-in to 0.059 in (1.5 mm) or less, and rear toe-in to 0.079
in (2.0 mm) or less. Any damage caused by failing to adjust the toe-in within the specified range will not be D
covered by warranty.
WHEEL and TIRES

Engine Oil Recommendation INFOID:0000000011487240
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life
and performance. 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 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.
Using an engine oil other than that specified could adversely affect the engine.
Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000011487241
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-
essary.
WARNING:
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and
radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radia-
tor. See precautions in "If your vehicle overheats" found in the "In case of emergency' section of this
manual.
• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-
vide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather
where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-
trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain
minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other
than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.
• The life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant is 24,000 miles (38,400 km) or 2 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill coolant. Refer to the GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide for more
details.
