2018 NISSAN GT-R fuel

FUEL INFORMATION
VR38 engineUse unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 93 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 98) to maximize vehicle perfor-
mance.
If the premium gasoline specified above is
not available, you may use unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating
of at least 91 AKI number (Research
octane number 96), but you may notice
a decrease in performance.
Do not use gasoline with an octane rating
lower than 91 AKI (Research octane num-
ber 96).
NOTICE

use reformulated gasoline when avail-
able.Gasoline containing oxygenates
NOTICE
Take care not to spill gasoline during
refueling. Gasoline containing oxy-
genates can cause paint damage.E-15 fuelE-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately
15% fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gaso-
line. E-15 can only be used in vehicles
designed to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-
15 in your vehicle. U.S. government reg-
ulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to be identified with small, square,
orange and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate percen-
tage for that region.E-85 fuelE-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately
85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gaso-
line. E-85 can only be used in a Flexible
Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 fuel in
your vehicle. U.S. government regulations
require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to
be identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for
that region.Technical and consumer information
9-5

Fuel containing MMTMMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting
additive. NISSAN does not recommend
the use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel
may adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including the emissions control
system. Note that while some fuel pumps
label MMT content, not all do, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details.Aftermarket fuel additives
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives
(Example: fuel injector cleaner, in-
take valve deposit removers, etc.)
which are sold commercially. Many
of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may con-
tain active solvent or similar ingre-
dients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.

Cool downThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
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 precautions
