Baseline recommendation by Nissan is any oil that meets API-SN or ILSAC SF-5

GT-R...they recommend Mobil 1

NOTICE
  • Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN cannot ensure proper engine operation and durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil 1 (0W- 40) is not available, Mobil 1 (10W- 40) (100% synthetic) may be used; however, some performance loss may be noticed.
