. If the oil level is below
,
remove the oil filler cap and pour
recommended oil through the open- ing.
Do not overfill
.
6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
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 suddenly or without ex-
planation, 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
performance driving is not engaged.
