R32 GTR Fluid compartment list

[go32fast]

ok so do you want to run synthetic fluid in attessa?

[toyota86]

I searched around and gathered some information on fluid capacities and such for the GTR. Thought it would be good to add to the sticky. correct me if im wrong. I'm not 100% sure of them.

1. Engine Oil 5.3L

2. Power Steering w/hicas 2L (enough for flush and bleed)

3. Transmission 4.1L

4. Transfer case 1.8L

5. Atessa 2L (enough for flush and bleed)

6. Front Differential 1L

7. Rear Differential 1.5L


PS.
Many people recommend running the Nissan PS fluid for the Atessa System. The Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special has part number 10130-89901A and they are sold in 1L containers.

It should say on the bottle:

10130-89901A
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Special Blend
Matic - D

HOOOLLLLDDD UPPP

i was JUST told by a whole bunch of people on this forum in a thread i posted in... and they said NEVER use redline shockproof heavy gear oil in the tranny of our skylines... they said the synchros are made of copper and the oil corrodes them, then they basically get destroyed....

they said only use redline shock proof if your tranny is on the way out, it will give u like an extra few months of use out of it....

I am online looking for alternative fluids for my GTR because I just got a OS Giken gearset in a tranny and it had clear fluid in it. I have used the Redline heavy gearshock for 2 years in my gtr with no problems. I put it in before I knew if there was a problem or not.

great writeup/sticky *favourited

[cobrAA]

are those oils still up to date? I'm about to do a major flush and might change every single oil.. All those recommendation are still good?

[NismoS-tune]

Up to date as in?

If you have an oil cooler, that's more oil.

For example, an oversized oil pan and cooler/relocation kit would mean MUCH more oil

If I recall, I used to fit about 4.7L of oil in my stock GTR. The other values are pretty close.

[cobrAA]

What do you think of the mix MT-90 / lightweight shockproof.

I emailed REDLINE and they said we should put MT90 in our tranny.

[PL_GTR]

Anyone use Royal purple for the tranny oil change and could a nissan dealership have the attessa fluid?

[NismoS-tune]

If I recall, the atessa fluid is Nissan automatic D or ATF.

As for the gear box, I only use AMSoil and it works fine, no noise great feel, 5 years now on the same oil (until last september that is)..

[gtrbubba]

Well I did a little bit of searching...

8. Atessa AWD fluid - (Nissan Power Steering Fluid or dextron 3)

Nope, I did a massive amount of searching, and I've actually pulled fluids from the transfer case ("Matic D") and ATTESSA tank, and they are completely different!

"Matic D" or Dextron III is far too thick for the ATTESSA system, it is a very syrupy fluid, where the ATTESSA fluid is very water-like. (I can upload a video, if anyone is interested...)

Nissan themselves warn against using viscous fluids in the ATTESSA system, as it will dramatically increase the latency of the system, which could be very problematic.

If you can't find the "Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special: KLF30-00001" (which is very likely!), then a cold-weather power steering fluid would probably be the best alternate, but be sure to completely purge the system of the old fluid.


Dat's it!

[Prophetic]

I'm aware this is super old and I'm sorry for bumping it but is

Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special: KLF30-00001

what I should use for a GTS-t?

And if not what? Any power steering fluid fine as long as I completely flush the system first?

Obviously i mean for my power steering, not attessa.

EDIT: Wow just realized this is in the gtr section. I fail.

Sorry!

[-Skyline-GTR-]

For the front and rear diff if it's only summer driven wouldn't a 75/90 synthetic be ok?

I'm not sure if that part number is the same as the actual "Nissan Power steering Fluid Special" referred to in the manual. I only found that p/n in a thread on skylineaustralia, and the guys said:

Black squarish bottle - white sticker usual red/blue stripes - says:

Nissan
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Special Blend
Matic-D

Part number on the invoice is the number in my last post. Bottle also mentions to use it as power steering fluid for R32 GTR.

They told me that this is the stuff to use for the HICAS reservoir.

And this is what the bottle looks/looked like:


This is why I'm skeptical, since the manual says to use different fluids between HICAS and ATESSA, and this Nissan bottle says its for HICAS.


According to this: http://www.nissan-sp.co.jp/oil/

◆ E-TS fluid
[E-TS only fluid car]

Packing Part number Suggested retail price
(Tax included)
1L KLF30-00001 992 yen
4L KLF30-00004 3,969 yen

From what I've read it would appear that the difference with this "Special" PS fluid is it's viscosity at lower temperatures (as in it was taking into account that the car would see winters and snow). So if you only use your car in the summer (I think this is the case for most people here), then ATF/Dextron III shouldn't be an issue in the ATESSA reservoir.

[krarks]

^ That makes perfect sense. I bet even running a synthetic ATF through the ATTESA would eliminate any issue cause I have a feeling that's all that "Special" fluid is.
