If you do get a 2011 or 2010: you will have to drive it hard to know. You may or may not have the issue? If you do? Hopefully maybe? Nissan will have a warranteed retrofit??? Strong maybe. We can only hope...

The oil cooling issue is one of two issues worth fixing about this car. The second is brake cooling. But that's another story.
wow crazy, such an expensive like with potential oil issues..at what temp does it become a bigger problem?

I'm purchasing an '11 for a good price-yeah agree hopefully a recall to fix.

Would the warranty cover of it does ring true and it's an issue?
