Everyone with oil temp issues

Dwight Frye · 10-17-2009, 09:37 PM

My 6MT 370Z has about 1500 miles on it now. I did the first oil change last weekend and refilled with the Nissan ester oil. Yesterday I took a drive up to the mountains here in SouCal. It's been unseasonably hot, with temps in the high 80's. I drove the car moderately hard on the way up the mountain highway and the oil temp stayed between 235-240 degrees. On the downhill run I wasn't running as high RPM's and the temps were between 220-225.
I will comment that the lower end torque on this car was more than I was expecting, it just kept pulling going uphill with little need to grab a lower gear except on very tight corners. Impressive !
