IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THIS MANUALYou will see various symbols in this
manual. They are used in the following
ways:

NOTICE
It is recommended that you only use
the following specified fluids and
parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.ENGINE OILMobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil) or
equivalent
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 operation and durability if
other non-equivalent synthetic oil is used.
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) or equivalent is not
available, Mobil 1 (10W-40) (100% syn-
thetic) or equivalent may be used; how-
ever, some performance loss may be
noticed.
Furthermore, replacement of the engine
oil with MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL
type 2193E(5W40) is recommended for
the frequent high performance driving
opportunities.
NISSAN cannot ensure proper engine
operation and durability if other non-
equivalent synthetic oil is used.The use of additives, chemical materials
or abrasive compounds is prohibited.
The use of additives, chemical materials,
abrasive compounds or other high per-
formance engine oils may cause internal
engine damage.
Engine oil maintenance

However, the brake pads can be sepa-
rately replaced only when a GT-R certified
technician judges that the brake disc
rotors are reusable, based on a measured
weight and a check for scratches and
cracks.EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPETThe GT-R exhaust system is designed to
provide the maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and to protect the vehicle from
high exhaust gas temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system
parts are used it is possible that the
muffler or other exhaust system parts will
deform and cause damage to the under-
body. Non-genuine GT-R exhaust system
parts can also affect vehicle performance
and possibly lead to turbocharger, engine
or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
Also, do not remove the trunk carpet from
the vehicle for any reason. The carpet
insulates the vehicle interior from the
heat of the muffler and from the noise
of the transmission.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET (if so equipped)
NOTICE
Never allow polishes with com-
pounds, because there is a possibi-
lity that the titanium muffler finisher
coloring will be changed.
