, open the
reservoir cap (pressure type)and add
coolant up to between the MAX
and
MIN
level. If the reservoir is empty, open
the radiator filler cap
and check the
coolant level in the radiator when the
engine is cold. If there is insufficient
coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator
with coolant up to the filler opening and
also add it to the reservoir up to between
the MAX
and MIN
level. This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant
is 24,000 miles (38,400 km) or 2 years.
Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the “9. Maintenance and sche-
dules” section of this manual for more
details.
If the cooling system frequently re-
quires coolant, it is recommended you
have it checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Check that the level of coolant is between
MAX and MIN on the pressurized radiator
reservoir. If the level is below the mid-
point, the amount of coolant circulating
may be insufficient for maximum vehicle
performance, possibly causing engine
overheating or other trouble.
For the coolant level and mixture ratio
when engaging in performance driving,
see
“Coolant level and mixture ratio”
page GTR-15.
Except for NISMO models:
If it is difficult to determine the midpoint
between MAX and MIN, remove the cool-
ant reservoir cap and look inside through
the opening to check that the coolant
level is above the divider
between the
top half and bottom half of the pressur- ized coolant reservoir.
NOTICE
.
The coolant reservoir is equipped
with a pressure type cap, and the
radiator is equipped with a non-
pressure type cap. Do not switch
the radiator filler cap and the
coolant reservoir cap. Doing so
will cause substandard cooling
performance and overheating.
. If you have added only water as
the coolant in an emergency,
change it to a coolant mixture
ratio specified as soon as possi-
ble.CHANGING ENGINE COOLANTIf major cooling system repairs are re-
quired, it is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. The service
procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in re-
duced heater performance and engine
overheating.
