]]> There’s been some considerable online talk about what the RB26 needs for a service, and what the rest of the R34 GTR platform needs, so here’s a bit of a breakdown, with some information to allow you to do a complete fluids and filters service.

ItemDescriptionAmountLink
Engine Oil10w60 seems to be the go-to oil viscosity. RB engines love oil pressure, so putting this in will only help that. There’s a video from Andrew Hawkins at Motive Video here explaining it.
My oil of choice is Fuchs Titan Race Pro S.		5.5lOpie Oils
Gearbox
(6 speed only)		The gearbox in the R34 GTR, is a 6 speed, V160, which is very similar to that found in the JZA80 Supra. This box requires an ATF fluid. A normal manual gearbox oil is no good for this.
My oil of choice here is Amsoil Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Signature Series ATF		6lOpie Oils
Diffs
(Non-VSpec)		The differentials in the R34 are in the front and rear.
My oil of choice is Fuchs Titan Race SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil. If you upgrade/change your differentials, then please follow your differential vendor information for the oils and quantities.		3lOpie Oils
Brake FluidThe R34 brakes aren’t actually too bad for stock items. Quantity required is just over 1 litre, so it’s worth buying 2 litres and doing a full flush.
My fluid of choice is Castrol SRF Racing DOT 3&4. 		2lOpie Oils
CoolantThe RB26 does take a fair amount of coolant, so you’ll need 8.5 litres do a flush and replace the coolant.
My coolant of choice is Motul Auto Cool Optimal -37C Car Antifreeze Coolant		8.5lOpie Oils
