These engines produce a lot of heat. On track even with an oil cooler I can hit 280F if pushing hard for several laps on a fast track. We're not the only cars without coolers, Corvette's (non Z06) models have a similar issue and can push oil temps to 320F and coolant temps to 260F.
I don't really notice a power loss until 280F when the ECU intervenes. Prior to that there is a slight loss of throttle response and perhaps a very slight loss of power as the ECU adjusts the timing. |

well i just thought it would be more convenient to get feedback from people that already understand this issue instead of going to the forum like a textbook. i did mention i already went through some posts but just wanted some personal feedback with my particular situation. For those who are bothered by me posting another oil temp thread, im sorry. I didn't realize there were THAT many posts already made about this.

We are trying to help. But that's the best joy of this site is research. That's majority of what I do. Page after page. Which in turn I've learn butt loads of goods along other people mistakes. That's why I haven't had a issue with my car yet.

Your 370 is not outrunning a GTR at 200F or 280F.... Just as a heads up, the OBDII system doesn't read the oil temp as one of its parameter. If you lose power, it's most likely because of the variable timing or car pulling time due to intake temp. It really isn't directly related to oil temp. |

Remember limp mode is a rev limiter if I recall correctly, it doesn't just pull power |
I cant drive the car in hot summer vegas weather..it easily reach 250F by that time i do feel a bit lag..oh well, still driving it though..

I hit 220 the other day doing some spirited driving on the highway in the scorching Seattle summer heat of 75 degrees. lol

And for the record I did outrun a GT-R at NJMP by 0.4 seconds, granted he was on the stock tires and I was on slicks. :rolleyes: |
