Everyone with oil temp issues

tbonesteak · 04-23-2009, 07:09 PM

Summer will tell the story....Hang on guys. Justice will be served as always - it seems like we have a pretty strong voice here being that we will all back each other up once something happens. I will pick up my z in a few weeks now and hopefully everything will work out. Socal, HAHAHA that sounds pretty familiar. My gf - once she doesn't like something, she will just abandon it. ROFL

We had 90+* this week in cali.... Well, on the freeway with NO traffic and windows down, saw 265 on the gauge....... Don't want to think about what it would have hit in stop and go traffic.

That's scary if it was casual driving. Was this 6MT or 7AT? We're you playing around in the higher revs, or just cruising in top gear?

We've had a few almost-hot days here in Houston lately, but nothing close to what it will be like by mid-summer. So far I don't think my oil temps will be an issue in the summer for casual driving, based on what I've seen. Not-so-casual driving, even on the streets, may prove to be an issue in the Houston summertime though. We'll see how it goes, it's hard to predict what truly hot weather will do.

We had temps around 90 here yesterday and I only saw around 225 on the interstate and that was with the AC on (6MT here BTW). Is it possible that Nissan has made some change (even as simple as recalibrating the temperature sensor)? Based on my VIN number (51XX) I'm guessing that my car was produced fairly recently and I haven't had any problems, granted I haven't pushed my car yet to the extent that I would on the track or even auto-x.

Running up the I-5 this week from Sylmar to Santa Clarita at 80+ with the A/C on up the grade through the Newhall Pass. Same weather...never got above 230. Go figure.

How many miles on your 370Z? Thanks.

I likely have one of the first 370s in the country and am not, in my view anyway, having a problem. So I don't think the theory that something has been quietly changed works.
