Additional Notes

  • The Nissan GT-R R35 (EU) cooling system capacity for the 2008-2011 model is listed at 11 liters, representing the total system fill volume used when servicing the coolant circuit.
  • From the 2011-2012 model year onward, the main cooling system capacity increased slightly to 11.3 liters, and a separate reservoir capacity of 1.2 liters was introduced as a distinct specification entry.
  • The 2012-2017 and 2017-2022 configurations both carry a main cooling system capacity range of 11.3-11.7 liters, reflecting variation across sub-variants or production tolerances within those year spans rather than a single fixed fill volume.
  • Reservoir capacity is specified as a range of 1.4-1.8 liters for the 2012-2017 and 2017-2022 configurations, a wider spread than the single 1.2-liter figure recorded for the 2011-2012 model.
  • The GT-R Nismo (2017-2022) shares the same cooling system capacity specifications as the standard GT-R across the same years, with a main system range of 11.3-11.7 liters and a reservoir range of 1.4-1.8 liters.
  • The 2008-2011 and 2011-2012 configurations carry a change interval of 40000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning coolant replacement is due at whichever threshold is reached first.
  • Beginning with the 2012-2017 configuration, the time-based change interval was reduced from 48 months to 24 months while the distance interval remained at 40000 km, making the calendar threshold significantly more frequent than in earlier model years.
  • A coolant check interval of 20000 km appears in the 2012-2017 and 2017-2022 specifications, as well as for the GT-R Nismo (2017-2022), indicating a mid-interval inspection point between full coolant changes under normal use conditions.
