Everyone with oil temp issues

Robert_Nash

Alan, I mean no offense but a pretty silly comment.

I'm from Ohio (in fact I'll be there tomorrow night) and in the (approximately) 33 years I spent there I never saw a single highway where you could legally drive triple digits for hours on end, or do flat-out quarter mile sprints all day (skid pads are pretty hard to find on public roads as well not to mention the fact the fact that capital punishment in Ohio is reserved for only two crimes, murder and speeding).

Perhaps you've never seen what "journalists" do to vehicles they test but the fact that a vehicle is even running by the time they are done is somewhat amazing...everyone, Nissan included, has said that if you drive these cars that way you need an oil cooler; Nissan puts coolers on the cars that are being tested because when a these cars are driven the way they are for these tests it's needed...simple as that.

I have nearly 16K on my coupe at this point...I've driven it about as hard on the street as most anybody here drives theirs (and still has a license) and that includes deserts and multiple 100+ degree days. My mechanic, who has been building and racing Nissan's for longer then most of the members of this forum here have been alive, says the oil temp these engines are seeing isn't a problem for this engine and he only has a cooler on the car he tracks. So, while it's just my opinion, I suspect that about 98% of this "oil temp problem" is due to the oil temp gauge Nissan put in the 370.

That said, I am sorry you felt you had to sell you car.
