Everyone with oil temp issues

7sudden · 04-26-2009, 11:28 AM

I picked up my 370z Friday night in Phoenix. (82 degrees) -I then drove approx 200mi home, averaging 70-80mph and varying RPMs etc. I never saw temp get past 220degrees

Car now has 291mi on it. After reading this thread, I took the car out and warmed it up. (60 degrees) Then I drove it hard for about 20min, including a few short bursts into 5000-6000rpm range. It still seems to cap out at 220degrees.

Am I just not driving it to the point of soliciting higher temps? My particular car appears to be a newer car (VIN number 5xxx). Could Nissan have fixed/changed something? Calibrated the sensor, etc? Am I just lucky?

Living in Arizona, this is going to be a concern to me. I would like to replicate the problem if my car has it. If it doesn't, I will start focusing on other upgrades/improvements.

If it does... I will demand the dealer fix it, or return my car.
