Nissan GT-R, R35 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan GT-R, R35 (EU) brake fluid capacity is between min and max. Service intervals include change 40000 km/ 48 months, check 20000 km, change 40000 km/ 24 months, change 5000 km, check 20000 km/ 12 months, and check 10000 km/ 6 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • Across all configurations of the Nissan GT-R R35 (EU), the specified brake fluid fill level is between the reservoir minimum and maximum marks, which is a standard service-fill reference rather than a measured volume capacity.
  • The 2008-2011 and 2011-2012 GT-R share identical brake fluid service intervals under normal use conditions, with a change interval set at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first.
  • Starting with the 2012-2017 GT-R under normal use, the change interval shifted to 40,000 km or 24 months, cutting the time-based threshold in half compared to the earlier 48-month interval seen in the 2008-2012 models.
  • The 2012-2017 GT-R under normal use also introduced a dedicated inspection point at 20,000 km, a mid-interval check that was absent from the 2008-2012 specifications.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2012-2017 GT-R carries a change interval of just 5,000 km with no time-based alternative stated, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding driving conditions such as track use or repeated hard braking.
  • The 2017-2022 GT-R under normal use retains the 40,000 km or 24-month change interval from the prior generation but adds a time-based check threshold of 20,000 km or 12 months, making the inspection schedule more precisely defined than in the 2012-2017 specification.
  • Under severe use, the 2017-2022 GT-R specifies a check at 10,000 km or 6 months without listing a separate change interval, distinguishing the maintenance approach from the 2012-2017 severe-use specification which stated only a change interval.
  • The GT-R Nismo (2017-2022) carries brake fluid service intervals identical to the standard GT-R (2017-2022) under both normal and severe use conditions, with no differentiation in km or time thresholds between the two variants.
