Is it necessary to ger an Oil Cooler?

An oil cooler is absolutely necessary for this car. Yours is pulling timing from overheat. Absolute no to Mishitmoto though. It's like buying your infant a toy made of depleted uranium and painted with lead - you just don't do it.

Go Z1 or FI. I prefer Z1 bc the oil lines have a larger diameter.

What year is your Z?

My Z's a 2013. So go with the Z1 for sure?

Yes, definitely Z1. Buy a 34 row. You can always throw on a blockoff plate in the winter.

I went with a 25 row thinking I didnt need a 34 row bc I dont track the car. A year later I ended up buying a 34 row. So save yourself the expense and go BIG.

Now would you mind and explain what a 25 Row or 34 Row is? And where can I get a blockoff plate? I'm assuming that's just strictly for the Winter, don't want toooo low of a temp lol. Also do I HAVE to use a longer size oil filter? if so, why? And I know they should fit, like the OEM Nissan 65FOE can be swapped with the OEM 9E long filters but do the filters make a difference?

I have a Z1 34 row with the thermostat. During the hot GA Summers I was running around 220 degrees with the stock cooler. Since the install, she runs between 180 and 190 depending on how “Spirited” I’m driving that day.

Cruising the freeway at 70 - 85 MPH in 96 degree weather is usually locked at 180 degrees.

Money well spent.

Since you have the stock oil cooler sandwich you'll have to use a shot oil filter if you arent already. Like Mobil1 1008A.

The longer filters can technically fit. Mine did. But I'd have to loosen the hose fittings to the thermo plate to get the filter off and a new one on. Not worth the hassle and subsequent seepage.
