Summer will tell the story....Hang on guys. Justice will be served as always - it seems like we have a pretty strong voice here being that we will all back each other up once something happens. I will pick up my z in a few weeks now and hopefully everything will work out. Socal, HAHAHA that sounds pretty familiar. My gf - once she doesn't like something, she will just abandon it. ROFL

We had 90+* this week in cali.... Well, on the freeway with NO traffic and windows down, saw 265 on the gauge....... Don't want to think about what it would have hit in stop and go traffic.

We've had a few almost-hot days here in Houston lately, but nothing close to what it will be like by mid-summer. So far I don't think my oil temps will be an issue in the summer for casual driving, based on what I've seen. Not-so-casual driving, even on the streets, may prove to be an issue in the Houston summertime though. We'll see how it goes, it's hard to predict what truly hot weather will do. |

We had temps around 90 here yesterday and I only saw around 225 on the interstate and that was with the AC on (6MT here BTW). Is it possible that Nissan has made some change (even as simple as recalibrating the temperature sensor)? Based on my VIN number (51XX) I'm guessing that my car was produced fairly recently and I haven't had any problems, granted I haven't pushed my car yet to the extent that I would on the track or even auto-x.

I likely have one of the first 370s in the country and am not, in my view anyway, having a problem. So I don't think the theory that something has been quietly changed works.

Travis,
I was using 6900 as a shift point at Mid-Ohio last week when I hit 275. At the time the ambient temp was around 65.

I think every one pretty much understands/assumes at this point that if you are going to track your car you need supplemental oil cooling.

I think us Phoenix residents are going to be the canary to the summer overheating problem. we are already hitting 100 degree days. Highest temps i have seen is 220-230. I am still in the break in period and rarely shift over 4k.

I've seen 240 on a 75 degree day here in Ohio. That is also pretty close to the temperature I saw in my 335i.
I believe your are correct, Phoenix may be the canary. Good luck.

Ok, so what is the "danger zone" temperature. I know the Z manual says 280 and up, but what is the consensus on the forum? Is it that anything in the 240-260 territory is red zone?

Being worried at 280+ sounds about right. The reason myself and others are concerned when we see 240-260-range is because we're seeing those in relatively light conditions/driving.
