Technical and consumer information9-3

9-6Technical and consumer information
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended above can
cause persistent, heavy spark knock.
(Spark knock is a metallic rapping noise.)
If severe, this can lead to engine damage.
If you detect a persistent heavy spark
knock even when using gasoline of the
stated octane rating, or if you hear steady
spark knock while holding a steady speed
on level roads, have a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Fail-
ure to correct the condition is misuse of
the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not
responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
�ffter-run or overhe�fting�b This in turn m�fy c�fuse
excessive fuel consumption or d�fm�fge to the
engine�b If �fny of the �fbove symptoms �fre
encountered, h�fve your vehicle checked �ft �f
GT-R certified NISSAN de�fler or other compe-
tent service f�fcility�b
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RE-
COMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oil
It is essenti�fl to choose the correct gr�fde,
qu�flity, �fnd viscosity engine oil to ensure
s�ftisf�fctory engine life �fnd perform�fnce�b
(
“C�fp�fcities �fnd recommended fluids/lu-
bric�fnts” p�fge 9-2)
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the f�fctory
fill oil�b The VR38 engine with its pl�fsm�f-spr�fyed
bores w�fs developed using this oil�b NISSAN
c�fnnot ensure proper engine oper�ftion �fnd
dur�fbility if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used�b
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not �fv�fil�fble, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) m�fy be used;
however, some perform�fnce loss m�fy be
noticed�b
NOTICE
Using an engine oil other than that
specified could adversely affect the
engine. See the 2015 NISSAN GT-R
Warranty Information Booklet for de-
tails and exclusions.
Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
�fdditives�b The use of �fn oil �fdditive is not
necess�fry when the proper oil type is used �fnd
m�finten�fnce interv�fls �fre followed�b
Oil which m�fy cont�fin foreign m�ftter or h�fs
been previously used should not be used�b
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness ch�fnges
with temper�fture�b Bec�fuse of this, it is import�fnt
th�ft the engine oil viscosity be selected b�fsed
on the temper�ftures �ft which the vehicle will be
oper�fted before the next oil ch�fnge�b Choosing
�fn oil viscosity other th�fn th�ft recommended
could c�fuse serious engine d�fm�fge�b
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with �f high-qu�flity
genuine NISSAN oil filter�b NISSAN recommends
to use the genuine NISSAN oil filter for the
re�fson described in ch�fnge interv�fls�b
Change intervals
The oil �fnd oil filter ch�fnge interv�fls for your
engine �fre b�fsed on the use of the specified
