Now my car is past break-in (1200 miles) and I am seeing reduced oil temps by about 10°F. When the car was brand new it was seeing oil temps about 120-130°F over ambient and now I am seeing 110-120°F over ambient temperature.

Yeah I caught and corrected. It's almost nice not having to care what is under my hood. :) Hadn't looked enough to remember exactly. i was thinking mine had one on both sides.

I love my Z. If I lived in Florida and tracked/auto crossed the car, I would buy one and add an aftermarket cooler, problem solved. I live in SC, and it gets very hot here in the summer. Next spring, I will probably add a cooler and I don't track my car. I never hit limp mode, but I can hit 250 degrees with spirited driving and stop and go traffic. I will feel more comfortable with the longevity of the engine if I add one. I would not let this stop you from buying the car, it is a great machine!

250 degrees with just spirted driving is pretty high, and with some track temps here reaching into the 90's the size of the oil cooler would prob have to be massive to cope with the added temps.

Has any of the aftermarket guys come up with a larger oil pan that dissipates heat better then stock ?

I don't really know if 250* is really that abnormal for this engine. As per the manual, once it hits 280*, you should stop driving like an ***. Other than that, I think it is fine. I take my Z on country back roads, and drive lively. None the less, I constantly see the temps climb to 240-250 range, but it doesn't go above it. Needless to say, you should also be checking your oil consumption, as I have noticed that the Z loves to burn oil!

:iagree:

Same exact temps for me. 250 is higher than they wanted engines to run yaers ago. Other than the newer metalurgy used in the "green" bearings causing problems at lower temps than in the past, no one has actually given a definitive "yes, 250 for extended periods is ok" answer.

Thanks

Mine doesn't. I have over 9K miles and I'm using Mobil 1.

bluzman 10-04-2009 07:31 PM
^^Mine doesn't either. I have nearly 18,000 miles on it and also use Mobil 1.

Steven 10-04-2009 11:26 PM
my temps are good. i noticed if they climb a lil bit over 220, i turn the AC on and it goes right down.

Forrest 10-06-2009 04:51 AM
My oil temps stay at 220 with nissan ester (same as when it was brand new). 5k miles on it. KN Oil Filter.

But no oil burning though.

Will be interesting to see what happens when i switch to redline

GETU1 10-16-2009 02:20 AM
Just started noticing my oil temp hitting 240ish with 90-92 degree outside temp in stop & go traffic. This is after I put in Royal Purple for the second oil change. Have about 6200 miles at the moment. Anyone else notice this with Royal Purple or Redline? I am quite concern about this.

import111 10-16-2009 09:44 AM
I use Royal Purple and my oil temps are around 220 When ambient temps are around 90...ambient goes much above 95 and my oil temp goes to 240 though. I did not notice a change in oil temps switching from what ever my dealership used to the RP FYI.

Thanks for the reply Import. Have you or will you install an oil cooler in your Z? If you have, notice any difference?

Figure a 20-25 degree reduction with a Cooler. Click the DIY link in my sig and go to the end of the install for observations..
