Edit: I just noticed that the linked test compares 50/50 water/glycol to 100% water with the water wetter added. That's probably not a very valid test, as water alone is known to cool better than water+glycol. |

50/50 glycol/water: 228F 50/50 + water wetter: 220F straight water: 220F straight water + water wetter: 202F There's no doubt that with or without water wetter, you get better cooling from straight water. I'm not willing to run straight water in my street car (although I may later move to 70/30 water/glycol), but it seems to have an effect even with a 50/50 mix. |

WaterWetter is not the answer - at best it's nothing more than a questionable patch to what seems to be a significant issue.

I got my Stillen oil cooler in and have my mechanic installing next week. I will take some pictures for every one. Then I have a 2 track days later in the week, so I will probably drive it one of the two days, depends which of my friends are coming! lol

From Edmunds.com Long-Term Road Test of the 370Z comes this post:
2009 Nissan 370Z Touring: Oil Cooler Install and First Service | Long-Term Road Tests Blog on Edmunds' Inside Line They said they had a Nissan recommended oil cooler installed at a dealer. This contradicts earlier posts of oil coolers voiding warranties or not available. Can I just demand my dealer install this when I buy my new Z? |

I'm certain most of you have seen this, but in the write-up by NissanSport magazine they claimed 3 options were in the works but still not completed at the time of publication: oil cooler, trans cooler, diff cooler. For whatever that's worth.

Awesome thread with a bunch of info!

I think you're referring to US Law, not California Law... everything you said is covered under the magnison-moss warranty act (of U.S. federal code)
Consumer Law: Warranty FAQ ie anyone in US can make the same claim regardless of state... probably can be used as court argument in other common law countries too but the reality is that nissan knows not everyone is going to take them to court, and their certainly willing to deny a claim if they think an aftermarket part somehow contributed to the failure of related parts... then it becomes a technical argument remember that dealers are ALWAYS incented to do warranty work that is not obviously out of warranty... they will have approval levels up to ~$5K, and anything under that they can do at their discretion... they are reimbursed from the factory for the work they do, so the dealer is the least likely to turn you away... if they do, find another nissan dealer - dime a dozen |
Brisk driving on Skyline Blvd. in Santa Clara this afternoon completely within the posted speed limit results in oil temps up to 290/300 and kicks in ECU limp mode...
2009 370Z all stock. Water temps appeared fine the whole time. Car is going back to the dealer with a "chronic" oil over-heating problem. |

That really sucks ! maybe if nissan sees a few cars come back they'll expedite a solution... GL with the dealer

If you were *really* within the speed limit, that sounds even worse than what most people have experienced. |
