Overheating issue with 2013 370z?

gomer_110 · 05-31-2013, 08:35 PM

I can say for a fact that I ran my oil up to 250* F a few weeks ago at an autox event and the car did NOT go into limp mode. Now it's possible that it was starting to pull some timing but I don't know for sure.

Not full blown limp mode . but there is a noticable difference in power the higher the temp goes .

Knock on wood, but I hardly ever see 220. And I don't baby the vehicle.

220 is, indeed, "bad". It is well-documented on the forum that oil begins to lose viscosity at 220. One of Modshack's old threads.
