I hope you have an Oil Cooler installed for the next trip. That will bring down the temps by at least 20 degrees. I'm sorry to hear of what happened, and that nissan wasn't any help.
A/C was on the whole time. I guess I will have to have my husband look into an oil cooler. I was hyper-vigilant about waiting to see if it went into limp mode, which it did not. It really drove just fine, it's just after I noticed the oil gauge temp, I never could enjoy the drive--I was always watching gauges.

Thanks for the info!
