Should I check my Nissan GT-R motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Nissan GT-R engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Nissan GT-R spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Nissan GT-R to illuminate?

Do I need to replace my GT-R’s oil filter when changing my oil?

Every time you change the oil in your Nissan GT-R, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
