RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

*1: Mobil1, 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 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil1, 0W-40 is not available, Mobil1, 10W-40 (100% synthetic) may be used; however, some performance loss may be noticed. For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: The use of fluids and lubricants other than the specified may cause vehicle malfunctions and result in non-warranty vehicle repairs.
*3: DEXRON™ VI type ATF or Canada NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid may also be used.
*4: Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special DOT4 is the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were specially designed for this brake fluid and NISSAN cannot ensure the best performance and proper operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used.

It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance. Mobil1, 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 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil1, 0W-40 is not available, Mobil1, 10W-40 (100% synthetic) may be used; however, some performance loss may be noticed.
Using an engine oil other than that specified could adversely affect the engine.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system additives are not necessary.

■ CAUTION ■

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio.

• The coolant mixture ratio should be a combination of 30% antifreeze and 70% demineralized or distilled water for maximum cooling system performance.
  
• If ambient temperatures are anticipated to be below 5°F(-15°C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water mix is used.
