It all sounds a bit dodgy to me but what do we do? All I can do is change the oil every 5000k and look into a oil cooler.

Yeah but the cooler voids the warranty on the engine apparently. I'm just gonna wait till summer, if it is a huge problem then I'll contact Nissan I guess. In all honesty though, even with a little 'spirited' driving, I don't think we'll come across any issues....... hopefully....
Don't forget, when summer does come and we decide to test the oil temps, I bet most ppl will be thrashing their cars to get high temps... doing this in most cars during hot weather will have the same effect - but the argument is that this is a sports car designed for this sort of driving and should be able to handle the temps.....
(unless of course the temps rise without driving hard... then we have a problem)
