GTR-4 GT-R Overview
performance driving. The engine oil can be
filled up to the H mark if performance driving
is not engaged.
. The engine oil load increases with high
power output. In order to maintain the
vehicle’s high level of performance, be sure
to perform oil level inspections and fill up at
least every 1,800 miles (3,000km). For the
oil replacement interval information, refer to
the 2012 NISSAN GT-R Service and Main-
tenance Guide section.
. 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-11)
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)
Castrol SAF-XJ 75W-140 (100% synthetic
oil)
Always use the Differential Oil R35 Special
75W-140 (100% synthetic oil) or MOTUL
NISMO COMPETITION OIL type 2189E 75W
140 (if available) that can keep the oil tempera-
ture low in order to protect all parts of the
differential and maximize the performance of the
Limited Slip Differential (LSD). MOTUL NISMO
COMPETITION OIL type 2189E 75W 140 may
not be available at most NISSAN dealer or in all
markets.
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
other brake fluid is used.
TIRES AND ROAD WHEELS
Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
Use only genuine GT-R tires and road wheels.
Tires
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
powertrain system damage if the vehicle is
driven in a flat tire situation, even if run flat
tires are used. This may also prevent the
vehicle from being stopped safely.
. Using n on-genuine GT-R tires may also
cause tire failure due to excessive heat
buildup caused by tire distortion while
driving.
