Oil temperature is always going to be warmer than coolant temperature under hard operation. Many people see 230-260* in "spirited/racing" conditions, and up to 290 or so isn't out of the norm in hot ambient conditions. Of COURSE the car is less-peppy with the oil at around 260*. The engine is quite obviously heat-soaked. Why wouldn't you expect to lose 10whp or so with the thing heatsoaked? I will FULLY admit to have not read that full thread, however, please clue me in: Are they any engine failures traced to lubricant over-heating with the 370Z? |

. I'm at 21,000 miles and no oil burning. Switched to synthetic at about 4000 miles. There is NO issue. If you do long track driving (HPDE, road course etc), you'll need an oil cooler. If you do autox or 1/4 miles, you don't need any oil cooler. For regular driving, you DO NOT need an oil cooler. There's no engine failure due to lubricant overheating because car has a built in protection system that protects the engine by limiting RPM (limp mode).
