ENGINE OIL Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil) 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 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1 (10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used; however, some performance loss may be noticed. Replace the engine oil and engine oil filter at the same time.
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 II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II 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.
■ CAUTION ■
NISSAN recommends the use of only genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or equivalent to avoid possible vehicle damage.
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 and braking performance.
- maximum the durability during acceleration.
- maximum stability during performance driving.

- 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.

SUSPENSION
Genuine GT-R special suspension
The suspension components, such as shock absorbers, springs and stabilizer are specifically designed for the GT-R to provide good drivability on many road surfaces.
NISSAN recommends use genuine GT-R special suspension components when the GT-R suspension is serviced.
■ CAUTION ■
NISSAN recommends the use of only genuine GT-R suspension components or equivalent to avoid possible vehicle damage.
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
Genuine GT-R brake pads and disc rotors
This vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston monoblock 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 the 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.
The GT-R was developed using a special wind tunnel to help make sure the vehicle is aerodynamically balanced. Additionally, the wind tunnel was used to help make sure cool air flows to the brakes, radiator and other components. Additions of non-GT-R specific accessory exterior parts can change the air flow over and around the body. This can affect vehicle balance and cooling of various systems.
For example, if the front bumper is modified, there is a possibility that brake cooling performance may be reduced due to the decrease of the air flow to the brake system.
■ CAUTION ■
Modifications to exterior parts may affect engine and transmission cooling performance which can increase the temperature in the engine compartment. This can affect the operation or damage parts located in the engine compartment.
