Your sig is a little mind blasting with all those colors and all. But good stuff there.

Relax; prob'ly a speck of crapola in one of your injectors. Pour some Techron in there & get your Z back in shape, dude!

why would a bad fuel spray (aka dirty nozzle) affect your temp at all? maybe a little ping or stammer, but definitely nothing to do with temp.

If the engine is running lean, the engine will run hotter. Just my :twocents::hohoho:

And, don't forget the STP Oil Treatment...

use Zmax micro lubricant oil treatment

Okay. That makes sense. Would a clogged injector affect the a/f ratio though? Like wouldn't the ECU compensate?

Hotter oil temp than an average car may be a good thing, that could mean we have more efficient lubrication systems, since more heat is going into the oil, which means higher shear stresses are being carried in the oil (better lubrication), or more engine heat is transfered to the oil, keeping the engine cooler. I doubt the higher temperature does any damage to the oil, since the peak oil temp in the cylinder is well above what it reads in the oil pan (mixed up with cooled off oil).

South Texas mine has gotten 240+ on the dyno I'm pretty sure haha. That's without hitting a limp mode so you're perfectly fine bro, enjoy the car !

TX_370 12-23-2009 04:30 PM

~220 Degrees on a daily basis

This made my head hurt.

I can barely get my engine temps to 180 when I'm just driving around town in 30F weather now. A highway jaunt will get me to 200F, but the Z is running cold these days. If I ever did an oil cooler, I'd need more than a thermostat. Wonder if I could just put a valve inline to manually allow/bypass oil cooler flow as needed for the season.

I hear ya. Took a long time to get my temps to about 200 in cold weather.

Nissan knows they have some problems.
A friend of mine works for a research group that is looking into over heating issues not only in the engine, but trany and rear end.
He has asked if they could put a heat sensor on the rear axle of my 370 so they can get on road test of the rear axle.

ummie4 06-01-2010 06:35 PM

My oil temp is higher in "stop and go" city driving than on the highway. City it is just above 200 and highway (65-75 mph) is well below 200

You guys know you have a 6th gear for highway...

1slow370 06-02-2010 04:33 PM

i live in wisconsin and when mycar was running it had 220 degree casual temps and i've seen 260 more than once and 300 once (some serious twisties). I would bet that in a hypothetical situation if you drove the car at more than 100mph for a minute it would be well over 250 all the time. that must piss off the german owners can legally do those speeds regularly.

RCZ 06-03-2010 12:32 AM

my thread lives! its ALIIiiIiiVE!

(why?) :D

I wonder how people's perception of this issue has changed over time....

Right now with the regular stillen oil cooler in Florida summer heat.. highway cruising 75mph it sits at 180. 80-90mph cruising it sits at 190. Sprints and it hits 200.

City driving im regularly at 190-200. If I really baby it 180. If there's traffic 200-205.

gumpy 06-03-2010 02:55 AM

about 200F normally, in stop start traffic about 210

spearfish25 06-03-2010 04:35 PM

It must be getting warmer outside...

Knives 06-03-2010 05:39 PM

Around 180 normal. If I do some "spirited driving" it'll go up to 195-200.
