sive compounds or other high performance
engine oils may cause internal engine damage.
Engine oil maintenanceGUID-7CDFA496-5639-4F1E-8F03-08DB5D2863B9.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 2017 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. (

nance itemsº page GTR-12)
Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is changed.
TRANSMISSION OILGUID-33530AE7-DE21-4F44-BDD8-78982F22D846Genuine 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 not recommended.
The use of additives or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
damage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)GUID-02DD11D6-4B01-4B02-9F92-7324C1E986B1Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E or equivalent 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 not recommended.
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.

DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
GUID-A5D66EC9-0E37-4FF9-8085-2F65570AF800Because 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 bum-
per, 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 solu-
tion 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 texture of real
carbon, which may feel rough. This is
normal.
MATTE PAINT (if so equipped)GUID-BF917B14-61A0-4A17-8901-FD06A89D8180If your vehicle is equipped with matte paint,
special care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
maintain the appearance of the matte paint.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT (if necessary)
(including tire pressure adjustment)
GUID-0CDF0D6E-5F2A-4B1E-B66E-3CB1C85B9A7FThis vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance suspension. The vehicle's wheel align-
ment should be 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.
The wheel alignment can be adjusted by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer in accordance with
specifications for city driving to high perfor-
mance driving. The tires on the GT-R may have different wear
rates and wear patterns in comparison to
conventional passenger vehicles. It is recom-
mended you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer to confirm that the alignment is within
specifications.
Preventing toe-out:
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-in setting checked and ad-
justed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer before any performance driving on
closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws
when on public roads.

TRANSMISSION SETTINGSGUID-62FE55B6-F107-48E8-B057-B9C43E33C951The 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
shifting, which may result in a malfunction or
damage. Depending on the driving conditions,
more frequent adjustments may be necessary to
help maximize vehicle performance.

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 engine.
Refueling precautionsGUID-6FAF478E-E778-45E1-88B2-3821289F5A5F
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.
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.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
vehicle has cooled.

GUID-43D554D8-E4EC-4A54-B8B8-B1E99DE420E9The turbocharger system uses engine oil for
lubrication and cooling of its rotating compo-
nents. The turbocharger turbine turns at extre-
mely high speeds and it can get very hot. It is
essential to maintain a supply of oil flowing
through the turbocharger system. Therefore, a
sudden interruption of oil supply may cause a
malfunction in the turbocharger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to perform the
following maintenance procedure:
. Change your engine oil according to the
recommended intervals shown in the sepa-
rate Service and Maintenance Guide. Use
only the recommended engine oil.
. If the engine had been operating at high
engine speed for an extended period of time,
let it idle for a few minutes prior to shut-
down.
. Do not accelerate your engine to high
engine speed immediately after start.
NOTICE
.This vehicle includes spark plugs
that are designed for high perfor-
mance. For this reason, if the engine
is repeatedly started and stopped over a short time, the spark plugs
may become fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. To prevent
diminished starting performance,
avoid starting and stopping the
engine repeatedly during a short
period of time.
NOTE:
. 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 char-
acteristics of the GT-R engine, more
frequent oil level inspections are ne-
cessary. Check the oil level every 1,800
miles (3,000km) and adjust as neces-
sary. Also, change the engine oil based
on the driving conditions. For the
information regarding oil replacement
intervals, refer to the 2017 NISSAN
GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide.
