Development concept

Created for the GT-R’s RB26DETT engine, this is a reliable, wide-range engine oil for all driving conditions and temperatures, from circuit and sports driving to street or resort driving such as to ski areas.


Special features

• Using NISMO's many race and rally motorsport achievements, careful investigations were made in to the conditions actually demanded of an engine oil—particularly for a high-performance turbo engine like that mounted in the GT-R—and the ideal oil specs were determined.
• During Taikyu racing, pit stops mean that the turbo charger remains at a high temperature, with the circulation of oil temporarily stopped. This can cause the oil within the turbine to scorch and form sludge, potentially causing turbine blow trouble. In developing this oil, NISMO paid special attention to the higher than normal heat burden on the engine, by conducting repeated heat caulking tests to ensure good endurance reliability, and to create an engine oil that could be recommended with confidence. An engine oil with good lubrication that helps ensure constant coolant temperature and protects the whole of the engine.
• While race use was stressed during the development process, it also had to perform well for street use. Thus it was also planned for reliable starting and reduced fuel consumption, with a base oil and additives that would ensure that this is a wide-use engine oil.
