MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
Change brake fluid every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
*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: The differential oil temperature cannot be displayed on the multi function display. The differential oil
temperature can be checked with the transmission oil temperature since both usually increases or decrease
concurrently.
*3: MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL type 2189E 75W 140 can also be used. MOTUL NISMO
COMPETITION OIL type 2189E 75W 140 may not be available at most NISSAN dealer or in all markets.
*4: 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 and NISSAN cannot ensure the best
performance and proper operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used.
. When the transmission oil temperature
increases to over 284
8F (1408C) the color
of the meter display turns to red. However,
the vehicle can be driven until the tempera-
ture reaches 295
8F (1468C). When the
color of the meter display turns red, because
the oil is deteriorated, replace the transmis-
sion and differential oil after driving.
. When the engine coolant temperature in-
creases above 230
8F (1108C), the color of
the meter display turns to red to warn and
output is controlled at a low level. When the
engine oil temperature is higher than 275
8F
(135
8C), the meter is displayed in red, the
engine output is controlled at 4000 rpm, and
the
&
M
position will automatically change to
the
&
A
position.

parts.
. Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.
. Check tire wear and cracking.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure as necessary when the tires are
cold. (
