Everyone with oil temp issues

spearfish25 · 05-22-2009, 04:02 PM

I've been reluctant to call and schedule a demo drive with the quality control specialist since lately I don't think I'd get to limp mode. As my car has broken in, the oil temps appear to have tamed themselves. Even the past few 80+F days with spirited driving and stop-and-go intervals, I haven't even gotten over 230. Racing to the hospital a few nights ago on ER call, the temps didn't rise much at all even then (sustained 115mph on the highway).

I have the number for the QC engineer should I run into problems again. But for now I agree with Weatherman, case closed with regards to road driving. If I want to track the car, I'll have to buy the oil cooler...so be it. I hope Nissan just prices the new cooler set at a bargain rate knowing that they should have installed it (or had it as an option) upon the car's release.
