He's in Atlanta. He needs an oil cooler even if the car never sees the track.

Yes, temperature wise here in Atlanta,GA the hot humidity has already started. A oil cooler will be in the works soon as it will only be getting hotter. I will be researching for the correct oil cooler for what I am using my 370z for thanks.

If you're looking at a 2017, it already has an oil cooler. The 2012 model year added an oil cooler as a standard feature. Here's the thread from 2011:
2012 370Z All Models Include Oil Cooler

I'm a fan and long time user of Red Line's Water Wetter. I used it in my Mercedes diesel and have added it to my 2016 370z. In crappy stop and go in Atlanta, I've seen 220. At pace on the highway, the thermostat seems to want to keep 205 (that's what I was measuring VVT oil temperature at with Torque).

Then again, I haven't made it through a full Atlanta summer yet.

Good luck

Not to familiar with the new oil cooler but I heard it's not great but idk for sure.

But it's ultimately up for everyone else to decide. I had a no oil cooler on my 09 for for 2 years and never saw anything above 240-250, but that was because I would let off before the temp was any higher. Anything less than 90 degrees outside and I'd be alright I guess but still hot lol. I just wanted one because I plan to boost in the future and so I can drive it hard and not have to worry about looking up and seeing 280 degrees haha
