But where do you get off coming on here, acting like some censorship Nazi trying to end discussion on a topic, saying that the thread needs to be locked, etc.? If you don't think it's a topic worth discussing anymore, fine, then unsubscribe from the thread and don't discuss it anymore. But just because you don't think it warrants further discussion, that doesn't somehow give you the right to silence everyone else like some self-appointed censor of the forum.

To bed with this already, huh? Whatever. I for one am installing an oil cooler just to play it safe.

Okay. The "Nazi" will step back. The "Nazi" will say it once more. Track it, put on a cooler. That's right from the engineers at Nissan right to my phone.

You just said above you didn't have on you cooler, but are deciding to put it on. To me that's not having one on your car.

Alright, I'm going to step back too. If I offended you with the 'Nazi' remark, I apologize. This isn't worth getting into a pissing contest over. But I want ask you one thing. Do you really consider Nissan engineers to be impartial in this? I mean, what else are they going to tell you? If their employer made a bad call and under-equipped a car, are they going to openly tell people 'yeah, we screwed up on this one'? I'm thinking no. Could be wrong, but my gut says no. Like I said in an earlier post, for me personally, this is really just about peace of mind at this point. I have no problem stating (and have already stated) that there is no hard evidence that 260 degrees will actually cause any long-term reliability issues. If someone asks me why I have an oil cooler, I am not going to tell them that it's necessary to prevent damage to the engine, I am going to tell them that it's just for peace of mind, can't hurt, etc. I think you and I are actually much closer to being on the same page than you might realize. Again, I apologize if you took offense at my previous post.

Roger that Semtex. Sorry for trying to close this. I guess at my company, that is quite large, we are encouraged to send all comments right to our CEO and GM if there's a problem. I have 200,000 to 400,000 people who watch me do the weather when I work. I make mistakes, yes. I fess up if something really goes haywire, and people let me know. I guess I just assume that many companies would have more to lose by being idiots to us, the people who buy their products. Could I be wrong about all of this? Sure. With my previous Nissans and Infinitis, they have never let me down. They usually came out with a fix to a problem before I even had anything go wrong. Any problem I've had with mine have been so minor. As for now, I will just trust them as long as my luck with their products. I even have my boss buying Nissans and Infinitis for he and his wife now. Sorry about my posts too, Semtex. AK said this subject really stirs some emotion, and I was a prime example of this.

I have already purchased the Stillen kit, but it is not yet installed. It is sitting in my garage until my next oil change. So when you said buy a cooler, I said I already did because, well, I already did. Sorry for the confusion.
