Here's are 2 cents to the debate.. I drive an 2010 7AT 370z, 3,100 miles on the clock.. 2 oil changes w/ Ester so far. It's my weekend ride.

Here in Northern Va, it was 95 degrees and humid today.

I took out the Z for a 125 mile run from Alexandria, VA to West VA (roundtrip) started at 1pm. On the highway, got up to 85mph, and used paddle shifters no traffic, so i opened up the car pretty good. The temp got up to 210, but stayed there for the entire run..

When i went from 85mph > down to like 70mph > back up the temp came down to 190 and stayed put..

I only rested the car for a stop for drinks and gas.. and the car drove beautifully. I wasn't trying to redline the car or anything, but at high speeds, my temps were within the expected range..

I have never tracked it, so I don't know how the car will react, but, this is my weekend ride, and for type of driving i do, I don't think i will get an oil cooler..

thanks for your input nick and sucasa. I forgot to mention i was going uphill on some parts which might be the reason my temp went up faster. but yeah i was pretty much deciding if i should get a oil cooler or not. I probably wont unless it becomes annoying in the future.

no problem.. Two weekends ago the temps got to 105 in DC area, super hot, unheard of heat.. and i drove the car like normal 65mph to 85mph, some spirited driving all on highways, ac blasting high... temps got to 215-220 .. no limp mode or issues encountered..

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.
