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.

emission control system malfunction ex-
ists. If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (

NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission
control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage: 1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decel- eration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
It is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
NOTICE
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
