Everyone with oil temp issues

AutoX Z · 08-29-2009, 09:35 AM

Is there any way we can unsticky this thread now that the people who originally posted this issue have had their cars break in and now it no longer happens? I feel having this posted at the top just causes new owners to panic.

Maybe just having a single post thread that sums up what everyone has discovered:

1. Temps may be high during the initial thousand miles but will decrease as the engine breaks in.

2. On a properly broken in car you will not hit limp mode during street driving.

3. If you track your car you will need to install an oil cooler. If you only plan on autoxing this is unneccesary.

4. And then Nissan's official statement on the matter.

Just a suggestion so we don't have to keep going over this again and again every time someone new joins the board and doesn't want to read though all 60 pages.
