Mobil 1 Selected as Factory and Service Fill Motor Oil for New Nissan GT-R Multi-Performance Supercar


    ExxonMobil today announced that Mobil 1 has been selected as the
    factory fill motor oil for the Nissan GT-R, the newly launched high
    performance vehicle featuring an all-new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6
    "VR38" engine.

    Nissan selected synthetic engine oil as the initial fill for the
    GT-R because of its friction reducing capabilities and
    high-temperature performance. Mobil 1, the world´s leading synthetic
    motor oil, was selected as the Nissan GT-R´s factory fill. Mobil 1 is
    also recommended for follow-on service fills.

    The Nissan GT-R´s new engine produces 480PS (353kW) at 6400rpm and
    maximum torque of 60kgm (588Nm) from 3200 to 5200rpm. Its new "VR38"
    engine features plasma-sprayed bores and a special twin-turbo exhaust
    manifold system. A secondary air management system enables the newly
    designed power plant to provide approximately 40kg/m of torque during
    ordinary low-rev driving, which gives an optimum air-fuel ratio for
    around-town efficiency and helps the Nissan GT-R meet ultra-low
    emission vehicle (U-LEV) standards in Japan.

    Mobil 1 is recommended for high-performance turbo-charged,
    supercharged gasoline and multi-valve fuel injected engines found in
    high-performance vehicles, passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks
    around the world.

    Mobil 1 0W-40 provides a variety of performance benefits for the
    Nissan GT-R and its "VR38" engine, including outstanding engine wear
    protection, excellent oil flow characteristics and fuel economy. Mobil
    1, with its patented SuperSyn technology, is uniquely designed to
    provide unsurpassed levels of performance, cleaning power and engine
    protection.

    "The Nissan GT-R team successfully delivered a supercar that
    exemplifies high performance driving under virtually any condition,"
    said Lawrence Kearns, Global Automotive Marketing Manager, ExxonMobil
    Lubricants & Specialties. "We are happy to be a part of such an
    exciting chapter in automotive history, and pleased that Nissan has
    recognized Mobil 1 as the oil of choice to meet the high-temperature
    and friction demands of their new turbo engine."

    Mobil 1 technology has been selected as factory-fill for many
    other high performance engines, and is chosen by more OEMs than any
    other oil brand in the world.
