2022 NISSAN GT-R oil additives

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.

system. Note that while some fuel pumps
label MMT content, not all do, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details.Aftermarket fuel additives
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives
(Example: fuel injector cleaner, in-
take valve deposit removers, etc.)
which are sold commercially. Many
of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may con-
tain active solvent or similar ingre-
dients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.Octane rating tipsUsing unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended above
can cause persistent, heavy spark
knock. (Spark knock is a metallic rap-
ping noise.) If severe, this can lead to
engine damage. If you detect a persis-
tent heavy spark knock even when
using gasoline of the stated octane
rating, or if you hear steady spark knock
while holding a steady speed on levelroads, it is recommended you have a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer correct the
condition. Failure to correct the condi-
tion is misuse of the vehicle, for which
NISSAN is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in
knocking, after-run or overheating. This
in turn may cause excessive fuel con-
sumption or damage to the engine. If any
of the above symptoms are encountered,
it is recommended you have your vehicle
checked at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
or other competent service facility.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is
no cause for concern, because you get
the greatest fuel benefit when there is
light spark knock for a short time under
heavy engine load.
