This high oil temp is bugging me.

92° outside and while just rolling down the highway (with no one in front of me) at 68mph I was reading 245° which sounds a bit hot for not even being over 2700 RPM. It did not go down for MILES just stayed at 245°.

I switched over to redline 5W30 this weekend when the car hit 2339 miles on the clock. I was hoping that the oil might make a difference, but that is not the case, in fact I think it is running hotter.

Nissan owes me an oil cooler...
