2018 NISSAN GT-R oil temperature

ensure the resistance strength and
creeping characteristics against high ex-
haust gas temperature. In addition,
further cooling effects are secured by
taking in air through the duct on the
undercover, to cool the area around the
muffler, and by applying partial plate
thickness reduction. Since genuine tita-
nium mufflers are made of titanium alloy,
the surface color will change depending
on the driving conditions, which is not
unusual. Prior to shipping from factory, all
vehicles receive balance aligning for en-
gine, transmission, and clutch, as well as
quench driving of brake pads and rotors.
As a result, the muffler surface color may
differ depending on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet from the
vehicle for any reason. The carpet insu-
lates the vehicle interior from the heat of
the muffler and from the noise of the
transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to
the Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease
adhere to the muffler surface, the color of
this area will be different from that of the
surrounding area. To remove the oil or
grease, check that the surface tempera-
ture of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it witha brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth
and gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to
dry. Be careful not to allow the brake
cleaner to splatter on rubber parts, bum-
per, etc.

Coolant level and mixture ratioThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
Check the coolant level in the pressurized
coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that
the fluid is between the MAX and MIN
markings. For the coolant, use genuine
NISSAN Long Life coolant. (On delivery of
new vehicle, the reservoir is filled to the
MIN level. Be sure to replenish approxi-
mately 3/8 US quart (0.3 to 0.4 liter) of
coolant.)
NOTICE
Do not overfill the coolant. This may
increase the pressure in the cooling
system and cause coolant leaks.
To maximize vehicle performance, the
coolant mixture ratio should be a combi-
nation of 30% coolant antifreeze and 70%
demineralized or distilled water for max-
imum cooling system performance re-
gardless of ambient temperatures.
If ambient temperatures are anticipated
below 5°F (−15°C), make sure a proper
mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50%
demineralized or distilled water mix is used.
Engine and powertrainThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
.
Check the engine, transmission, differ-
ential and under the vehicle for oil and
coolant leaks.
. Inspect the areas surrounding of the
catalytic converter for heat deteriora-
tion.
. Always perform the transmission
setting. After that, adjust the clutch
clearance so that the clearance is less
than the clearance used for daily
driving. Your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer has the necessary information
and equipment to set the clutch
clearance to the correct specification.
The clearance used for daily driving
increases clutch heat generated dur-
ing Performance Driving. This leads to
an increase in temperature of the
transmission oil. In addition, a more
direct shifting feel can be obtained by
reducing the clutch clearance for
Performance Driving. The clutch clear-
ance should be reset to the daily
driving specification after Perfor-
mance Driving. It is recommended you see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
for information.
NOTICE
Failure to have the clutch properly
adjusted before performance driving
may cause the transmission oil tem-
perature to increase which may
cause transmission damage.
. Inspect and confirm the clearance
between the exhaust finisher and rear
bumper is more than 0.24 in (6 mm)
(up/down) and more than 0.20 in (5
mm) (left/right).
. Inspect the dust boot of the drive
shaft universal joint for cracks or
damage.Suspension and wheel alignmentThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
.Check the steering and suspension
system and other links for loose and/
or damaged parts.
. Measure and adjust the wheel align-
ment. (

Oil additivesNISSAN does not recommend the use of
oil additives. The use of an oil additive is
not necessary when the proper oil type is
used and maintenance intervals are fol-
lowed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.Oil viscosityThe engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important that the engine oil
viscosity be selected based on the tem-
peratures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change.
Choosing an oil viscosity other than that
recommended could cause serious en-
gine damage.Selecting the correct oil filterYour new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. NISSAN
recommends to use the genuine NISSAN
oil filter for the reason described in
change intervals.
