does my car have engine oil cooler !! PIC & VID inside
 

after first oil change, i noticed that my oil filter fixed to this peace which looks like an oil cooler (oil to water type)
i don't know if its there because mine is 2011 model or because its a GCC spec.

sorry for the poor pic and video, it was over 46 C over there and couldn't think of taking better picture:icon17:

i dont know if there is another hose connected above . but i think there should be one

can someone correct me if i'm wrong? is this is what i think ?

if its really an oil cooler , i cant imagine what would happen to the engine if used in me regon without the cooler

now im getting easly 105-110 C normaly at 47~50 C ambient

That's definitely an oil cooler of some sort, but it's not like OEM setups I've seen on Evo's and BMW's.

Refer to AK's oil change tut to see what this area looks like on a 2009-2010 USDM 370Z: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...es-inside.html

you should post bigger pictures! ;)
:roflpuke2:

Looks similar to the OEM cooler on my old Audi S4. Routes coolant to the oil.

That's an interesting find, thanks for posting it. I wonder if that is a factory part for Z's sold in parts of the world that get extreme heat or new for '11 models like you said.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

looks like a coolant type oil cooler/oil warmer

That's very interesting! I'd like to see where it goes too!

hmmm

does anyone know if the JDM 370z comes with an oil cooler?

so was this car bought in Kuwait? If so then I would say an add-on when it arrived in country.

One goes out with oil , one goes in with oil, where is the other one?

The messed up thing is the 370Z not having a factory oil cooler in the states, but all the VQ35DE Altimas have it stock. WTF??

No oil cooler on the sports coupe and the family sedans all get one! HUH???

It looks like it is a return line :confused:

I almost wanna say that it was done to keep the price lower in order for Nissan to market the Z as under 30K. The 2011-12 might have it......
