I'm tripping out about these numbers especially since I'm not doing anything crazy in the car. (as my video will show) I mentioned earlier that I intend to AutoX this car and someone said that adding an oil cooler to her will put me into a whole different class. So this issue has got me worried and frustrated. I want to compete in a stock bracket. And it seems like this car's heat issue isn't going to allow me to do that.
ME and many other 370Z owners noticed that this car takes a while to break in. During the first couple thousand miles I have seen the oil temp gauge climb up literally in front of my eyes. But after switching to a good synthetic oil and 7800 miles later, it's a huge task for me to bring the temps up. I'm averaging 95 degrees outside and I'll be surprised if my car crosses 225 F even after prolonged drive. I say wait till your car has 4-5K miles (completely broken in) and switch to a good synthetic like Redline, RP, Amsoil etc. You'll have MUCH harder time bringing the temp up.

Are you attending "brief" autoxing (usually lasts 60-90 seconds with time to cool off in between laps?)? If so you DO NOT need any oil cooler.
