Additional Notes

  • The Nissan GT-R R35 (EU) carries a dry fill capacity of 9.4 liters across all listed configurations from 2008-2022. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt transmission, as opposed to a service fill, which accounts for residual fluid remaining after a drain.
  • The 2008-2011 and 2011-2012 GT-R share identical service intervals under normal use conditions, with a fluid change specified at 30,000 km or every 18 months, whichever comes first.
  • Starting with the 2012-2017 generation under normal use, the change interval extended significantly to 60,000 km or 36 months, more than doubling the distance-based interval compared to the 2008-2012 specifications.
  • The 2012-2017 GT-R under normal use also introduced a fluid check interval at 20,000 km or 12 months, separate from the change interval. A check interval indicates a scheduled inspection of fluid level and condition without necessarily performing a full replacement.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2012-2017 GT-R carries a fluid change interval of just 5,000 km with no time-based component listed. Severe use typically refers to operating conditions such as repeated high-load driving, track use, or extreme temperatures that accelerate fluid degradation.
  • The gap between the normal and severe use change intervals for the 2012-2017 GT-R is substantial. Normal use allows up to 60,000 km between changes, while severe use requires a change every 5,000 km, a twelvefold difference in distance.
  • The 2017-2022 GT-R and the 2017-2022 GT-R Nismo share identical specifications, with a 9.4-liter dry fill capacity and the same normal use intervals of a fluid check at 20,000 km or 12 months and a fluid change at 60,000 km or 36 months.
  • The semi-automatic transmission designation noted across all rows refers to a dual-clutch or automated manual-type gearbox, which typically requires more precise fluid maintenance than a conventional automatic due to the mechanical complexity of its clutch packs and hydraulic control systems.
