Oil coolers are usually on sale during black friday and whatever folks call their "summer" sale

If you wanna save a few bucks, wait till around july. I think Z1 offered the 36 row for the price of the 24 row or something like that

Good call. I was gonna say wait to black Friday but that's a long ways away.

The ECU will start to pull timing at 240F oil temp. The higher it gets, the more timing it will pull. Once it gets to 280F. Then it's limp mode.

Will it go into limp mode just over 220? Mine before the oil cooler did that once in traffic and I remember it wasn't that high. I think someone did say that gauge isn't that accurate so I could've been at 240

Oil temp. No. Got to be 280F. The ECU seeing what the gauge is seeing. Once the ECU starts to pull timing. The car will run worse. There may be another reason why it might have gone into limp mode. But I don't know what the reason would be.

Sounds to me like the car needed some viagra.

No sure where you got your information. Nobody buys the Stillen kits because you can't use a factory oil filter (unless they have recently changed them). The Fast Intentions are the highest quality due to the braided lines they use (Teflon Inserts and last a long time) and they only sell a Setrab 34 row oil cooler. They also offer everything needed to remove the factory oil cooler 2012 to current car. The Z1 you can cheap out and get a Mocal oil cooler which is not as good. They also offer 19 row, 24 row, and 34 row oil coolers. The braided lines are just standard rubber lines. Nothing special.

So, the Z1 and Fast Intentions oil cooler kits are both good. If you get the Z1 make sure to get the Setrab oil cooler. I just like the FI kit better due to the
fact that they offered everything needed for the 2012 and up cars.

lol for like 8 yrs on this board, I've never associated "limp mode" with Viagra, until now :roflpuke2: :bowrofl:

I can never say "limp mode" with a straight face now, thanks BettyZ

Yes there are people with the Stillen ones despite that. That was the reason why I personally didn't get the Stillen but that may not be someone else's reason. I see teenagers with the Mishimoto ones all the time too, even though it's well known the quality isn't all there. It could be timing or lack of knowledge but I've come across 6 people with the Stillen kit.

I have the Stillen kit. The only thing I'd say is get a Setrab Core.

See? Can't you get the Setrab core or the Mocal one from them? besides that, buying a different sized filter isn't a big deal. Just remember the size like the size of your tires or what kind of oil you use in your engine. It's really not a big deal.

I had their gold series core, but it failed after about 4 years. I just installed a new Setrab series 6 34 row.


I use WIX filters and I haven't had any issues with them so far. No leaking issues or anything like that.

My understanding is that Z1 stopped offering Mocal cores for the 370Z because they would burst; couldn't deal with the high oil pressure on startup.

Mocal is still an option on their website.

You've never used the term "limp-****" to refer to something that isn't working as it should be? :rofl2:

Caveat emptor to the maxxx.

From the Z1 site, the Setrab core is only $45 extra. Think about it, you're paying $45 more for a peace of mind quality proven core that will do the job and last the duration of your car. It's a no brainer. Sometimes you do GET what you PAY for.

$45 for Setrab extra or $10,000 for new motor and install..hmmm.. this is a toughie!

I got a job for you. :tup:

Russ I think there's some kids on yer lawrn. Probably should go yell at them :tiphat:
