ENGINE OIL
Mobil 1, 0W-40 (100% synthetic oil)
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.
TRANSMISSION OIL
Genuine NISSAN Transmission oil R35 special (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a multiple-disc dual wet clutch transmission. The specially developed transmission oil maximizes the friction characteristics of the clutch and the lubrication of the gear bearings. The use of additives is prohibited.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)
Castrol SAF-XJ 75W-140 (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a 1.5-Way mechanical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to maximize driving power under many operating conditions. Use the specified differential oil to maximize the performance of the LSD. Also use the same oil for the front differential. The use of additives is prohibited.
BRAKE FLUID
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special DOT4
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. NISSAN cannot ensure the best performance and proper operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used.
TIRES AND ROAD WHEELS
Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or equivalent
Use only genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or equivalent. Proper use of NISSAN recommended tires provides the greatest potential for maximum performance.
- Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an equivalent help achieve maximum cornering performance.
- Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an equivalent help provide road holding in the event of decreasing tire pressure and punctures.
- Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an equivalent help prevent the decrease of straight-running stability caused by uneven tire wear due to high rigidity wheels and wide tires.
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
Genuine GT-R brake pads and disc rotors
This vehicle is equipped with a high performance braking system and includes cross drilled rotors and six piston floating calipers. This helps to achieve excellent stopping performance and fade-resistance. Replace all four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the same time to maintain maximum brake performance.
EXHAUST MUFFLER
Use only the special GT-R muffler and trunk carpet.
Never use parts other than genuine NISSAN parts.The GT-R has high exhaust gas temperatures. If non-GT-R specification parts are used, it is possible that the muffler will deform and cause damage to the underbody. Also do not remove the trunk carpet from the vehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the vehicle interior from the heat of the muffler and from the noise of the transmission.
EXTERIOR PARTS (spoiler, etc.)
Do not modify exterior parts.
