2019 Nissan GT-R

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 GT-R.

Transmission Automatic (AM6)

The 2019 Nissan GT-R is the later model-year iteration of Nissan’s GT-R lineup, specified with a 6-speed automatic (AM6) transmission, an engine-oil capacity of 5.3 quarts of 0W-40 viscosity, and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 16 city / 22 highway / 18 combined mpg. Available complaint data for this generation covers 2009 through 2013, with reported volumes peaking at 19 in 2009 and reaching a low of one in 2011. Because the 2019 model year falls outside that recorded span, it is not represented in the documented complaint trend and should be read as a later, unquantified point in the GT-R’s reliability history.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 51R · 410 CCA battery, OE oil filter 152089E01A. Note the factory front wiper blades is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; coolant every 24,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 24,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.
