2015 NISSAN GT-R ESP

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and a\f\flythe \farking brake.
\b. Run the engine until it reaches o\ferating tem\ferature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait at least 5
minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan before checking the oil.
4. Remove the di\fstick and wi\fe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
5. Remove the di\fstick again and check the oil level. It should be within the range
*1. If the
oil level is below
*2, remove the oil filler ca\f and \four recommended oil through the
o\fening.
Do not overfill
*3.
6. Recheck oil level with the di\fstick.
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 2015
NISSAN GT-R Warranty Information
Booklet for details including applic-
able exclusions.

REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS
NISSAN generally recommends to replace all
four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at t�fe
same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-
mance�b
However, replacing only t�fe brake pads may be
allowed in some cases (four w�feels or only front
w�feels depending on t�fe conditions) �b A GT-R
certified tec�fnician must inspect t�fe ve�ficle and
determine t�fat only t�fe brake pads need to be
replaced�b In t�fis case, replacing all brake pads
and disc rotors as a set is not necessary�b
Note t�fat t�fe replacement of brake pads and t�fe
disc rotors as a set on all four w�feels s�fould be
performed w�fen a GT-R certified tec�fnician
determines t�fat t�fis is t�fe correct repair�bIf t�fe inside of t�fe disc rotors are cold during t�fe
winter and t�fe surface becomes �fot due to a
�feavy force being applied repeatedly to t�fe
brakes, cracks may occur near t�fe coolant �fole

occur due to a �feavy force being repeatedly
applied to t�fe brakes during �fig�f performance

Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks*1at both the front an\f
back of the wheel \fiagonally o\b\bosite the flat
tire to \brevent the vehicle from moving when it is
jacke\f u\b.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the
vehicle may move and result in personal
injury.
Getting the tools
NOTE:
A jack, jack lever and rod are not equipped
as standard with this vehicle. These parts
are dealer options. Contact a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer about acquiring a jack,
jack lever and rod. You can store a jack,
jack lever and rod in the floor in front of
the passenger’s seat.
CAUTION
After using the tools, put them back in
their original places. An accident may
occur if you leave them in the car
unsecured.
Jacking up the vehicle and removing
the tire
WARNING
. Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by the jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
. Use the correct jack-up points.
Never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.
. Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
. Never use blocks on or under the
jack.
. Do not start or run the engine while
vehicle is on the jack, as it may
cause the vehicle to move. This is
especially true for vehicles with

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.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The traction grades, fro�f highest to lowest, are
AA, A, �b and C. Those grades represent the
tire’s ability to stop on wet pave�fent as
�feasured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified govern�fent test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire �farked C �fay have poor
traction perfor�fance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C
The te�fperature grades A (the highest) , �b, and
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-
tained high te�fperature can cause the �faterial
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive te�fperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
perfor�fance which all passenger car tires �fust�feet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades �b and A represent
higher levels of perfor�fance on the laboratory
test wheel than the �fini�fu�f required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.
