sounds like you just had some bad luck. I'm sure they will take care of you though. The fuel pump went out on my wife's 3 month old Z4 the other day, stuff happens.

I know I saw this somewhere before in another thread, but cannot find it now. What is the 'Danger Will Robison" zone for oil temp heat? 260?

I had issue with high and varied oil temps before 1st oil change. I decided to go with Motul 300v Racing 5w-30 and my temps run more stable and have yet to exceed 225-230ish with high spirited driving out here in So Cal. I will probably go with an oil cooler when I have the $$$, just to be safe. We should all schedule a day and time to call Nissan and complain. Maybe that will get their attention???

Danger Will Robinson heat zone is 260

Wish I had the $$ to buy AE Performances oil cooler.

About $700 for an GTM Comp Cooler installed.
a little less expensive than the AE Cooler.

I finished break in this morning. At 220 degrees and 62 ambient, I finally got to rev up the car and drive spiritedly. Within three miles I was at 245 and slowed it down where it very slowly dropped back.

I just got off the phone with the dealership and ordered an oil cooler, Part Number: 21300-SS370 MSRP: $780 plus 4 hours labor $1300+. It should arrive in two or more weeks. This part will not void warrenty, so I will pay extra.

The only pleasent news was I 'll get a loaner for the day.

Don't waste your time complaining to Nissan and expecting a free solution. We all went through this last summer. I even have the number for the Nissan support rep for my area...not the most compassionate or helpful person.

If you're seeing high oil temps (over 230), just invest in a cooler. You can build your own and install it yourself for $300 or you can go the other extreme and have Nissan install the Nissan Motorsports cooler kit for $1300. Just realize that you have no warranty if the cooler malfunctions in any scenario (ie, there is no real benefit to having Nissan install it if you're capable of doing it alone).

Thx Triple's, I had seen their oil filter when it came out, heard nothing after that. Most peeps were going with Stillen's, Modshack, or Nissan. Will have to do a search on the forum for any feedback on GTM.

Oh, you'll find plenty on GTM's coolers. Like the fact that they had numerous lines explode and a few members had to replace their motors. Some people have noted that Sam at GTM has been very helpful and has fixed the problem, but he never replied to me when I emailed him.

I personally went the Modshack route but had a local hose company make some very overengineered hoses to avoid any blowout potential.

Are you sure it will not void your warranty?? Did you get that in writing??

Ha ha! I would (but I doubt they will...)

Even Car and Driver had the "Factory" Nissan Motorsports cooler fittings fail... And this installed for the press cars!
