Everyone with oil temp issues

ZYUL8R · 05-08-2009, 11:32 PM

Id bet the 350z had high temps during track days. It had no limp mode associated with oil temps. I tracked my 350z quite a bit...i always changed the oil before the event, then immiediately after.

Yeah..

It's probably true that they sorta shot themselves in foot on this one by even including an oil temp gauge. On the other hand, they probably did it precisely because they knew this engine could be pushed to overheat, and they wanted the driver to have the feedback to know to drop the revs and save it, at least. Someone just dropped the ball along the way on the factory cooler option.

I don't think it was a dropped ball, I think it was "bean counters". They knew the issue existed, hence the magazine demo cars equiped with oil coolers.
