Description

NISMO COMPETITION OIL 2193E 5W-40 is a fully synthetic racing engine oil developed by Motul together with NISMO for the twin-turbo VR38DETT engine fitted to the Nissan GT-R R35. It is designed for hard track use, when the oil becomes diluted with fuel.

Its polyol-ester base gives thermal and hydrolytic stability. The product page and the 08/24 data sheet list no industry classes, only the marks NISMO Nissan Motorsport International and NISMO Performance SM. Available in 1 and 5 litres.

Agree its use with the tuner who looks after the engine before filling.

Application

The twin-turbo VR38DETT engine in the Nissan GT-R R35, including hard track use with fuel dilution of the oil.

Worth knowing

Motul’s data sheets for this oil contradict each other. The English-French version 07/18, under the heading 2193E 5W-40, repeats NISMO 2212E 15W-50: SR and RB engines, a 15W-50 viscosity line, empty value fields. The Italian version 08/24 describes the same thing as the product page, the VR38DETT engine of the GT-R R35, and gives figures: 85.9 and 14.2 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, HTHS 3.9 mPa·s, viscosity index 170, pour point -39 °C, flash point 230 °C, base number 10.1 mg KOH/g. The Spanish version 02/25, for Colombia, gives the same figures, though its text also mentions SR and RB.

Conditions of use diverge too. The Italian version finds the oil suitable for Nissan warranty requirements only in the GT-R R35 and gives a change every 3,000 km in severe and 10,000 km in normal conditions; the English-French one gives only 3,000 km and denies any Nissan warranty. API SL appears only in the English-French version, not in the Italian, the Spanish or on the product page. The article on the oil data sheet explains why its figures are only a guide and why descriptions date.
