How many miles do you have on your car?

As is the case with a number of people, this issue has caused me to delay my decision about buying a new Z. I do remember a few pages back some posts to the effect that with some vehicles the problem seemed to be resolving itself as the car accumulated mileage. Is it too soon predict that this might be the case with most - if not all - of the cars affected with this problem?

If you believe that there is an oil temp issue then maybe you should look at buying a Genesis Coupe or ??? I bought the 370Z and do not track it. I'm as happy as a pig in shite with it along with most owners here. But you decide.

Thanks for your response, although it didn't answer my question. All I was trying to find out was if some of those owners who believe they had a problem are having less of one as they wrack up the miles on their cars.

Your loss. Maybe you'd be lucky and be one of the 99.5%+ who do not have any issues, but Maybe not. Life can be mighty dangerous sometimes...Sounds like you're not a gambler and should probably look at something else .

That's why I asked vehl about his mileage. His post gives me the impression that his car is still very new. If that's true, then (a) I wonder if he's even heeding the 1200 mile break-in procedure, and (b) I was going to point out to him that the temps tend to go down as these engines get broken in.

So you haven't even completed the break-in period yet (1200 miles, which = 1920 km). What are you doing pushing your car so hard so soon? I don't think you can really complain if you ignore the proper break-in procedure. Anyway, the experience of most people, including myself, is that as the engine breaks in more, the temps go down. Hopefully that will happen for you as well. So don't panic until you have more mileage on your car.
