Why is this thread even still open...I mean really, what is there to say about the "oil temp issue" that hasn't been said 100 times over at this point?

Anything over about 240 and you start to see the beginnings of viscosity breakdown, or thermal breakdown, or whatever the f you call it ![]()

No point really. Is your car broken in? (More then 5K miles?). Nissan has already made a statement on this. It is not a problem for street cars. They do recommend a cooler if you track. There is nothing they intend to do. In case you haven't seen Nissan's statement on this: Quote: Originally Posted by Nissan USA The 370Z has an engine protection system that reduces peak engine speeds when the oil temperature exceeds recommended levels in order to protect against possible engine damage. Aggressive driving of the 370Z on a race track at sustained high engine speeds can cause increases in oil temperature and may activate this engine protection system. To avoid activation of this engine protection system and these reduced peak engine speeds, Nissan recommends an oil cooler be fitted to the 370Z before driving it on a race track. A Nissan Motorsports accessory oil cooler kit is available for customer purchase through authorized Nissan dealerships for race track use. The part number is 21300-SS370. An oil cooler is not necessary for normal operation of the vehicle on public roads. The addition of an oil cooler would have raised the price of the car and potentially moved it out of the reach of some customers. Value has been a core principle of the Z car since the original 240Z and we choose to uphold this core principle by not adding additional costs that are unnecessary for normal use. For those individuals who choose to drive their vehicle on a race track, the oil cooler is available as an aftersales item. The oil cooler is a Nissan Motorsports item and as such is sold without warranty, express or implied, unless expressly prohibited by law in which case the warranty provided is the minimum required by law. The installation of the Nissan Motorsports oil cooler does not, by itself, “void” the vehicle warranty. However any damage caused by the installation or use of this part is expressly excluded under the terms of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited warranty. Last edited by Modshack; 08-25-2009 at 03:54 PM. |

My car just turned 5000 miles; so it is broken in. I see temps in the 220 to 260 range virtually every day. Once the air temp goes over 85 or 90, oil temps increase to these levels, whenever I maintain highway speeds and normal rpm ranges. I guess the real question is: what is considered "high" for oil temp under normal operating conditions, for street driving? For this type of car, I would hope that shifting at 5K RPM would not cause a problem. After all, it is a sports/high performance car. Cruising at 70 to 80 mph and turning 3500 rpm shouldn't result in 250 degree oil temps; at least not for any other car I've driven in the past. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently Nissan considers 280 degrees high as that's where Limp mode is engaged as a protective feature.. Not many (if any) guys reporting that on the street..
