Can Nissan drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Nissan drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Nissan GT-R? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Nissan GT-R differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a GT-R?

Can my GT-R malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your GT-R, but it's important to resist the urge.
