It is normal to add some oil between oil maintenance intervals or during the break-in period, depending on the severity of operating conditions. More engine oil is consumed by frequent acceleration/deceleration especially when the engine rpm is high. If your rate of oil consumption increases suddenly or without explanation, NISSAN recommends that you have your vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. . When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil is set to 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark for optimal high performance driving. The engine oil can be filled up to the H mark if performance driving is not engaged. . NOTICE 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 (0W40) is not available, Mobil 1 (10W40) (100% synthetic) may be used; however, some performance loss may be noticed. Oil level should be checked regularly. Operating the engine with an insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. See the 2013 NISSAN GT-R Warranty Information Booklet for details including applicable exclusions.
