Check the amount of fluid for the power GT-R Overview *1: 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. *2: 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. REPLENISHING COOLANT Check the coolant level in the pressurized coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. For the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life coolant. (On delivery of new vehicle, the reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to replenish approximately 0.3 to 0.4 US quart (0.3 to 0.4 liter) of coolant.) GTR-6
