On this car, 220 is nothing to be concerned about. It's not ideal, but its not a huge problem. Still, get an oil cooler and use a good full synthetic oil.

That's probably more a function of the fact that underhood temps haven't really started to climb rather than oil temps. You're still on the cold start enrichment map, so RPM are higher too, which may be partially responsible for what you're experiencing.

Even with the crappy stock cooler, I reach 220 easy on the streets without pushing it.

On a 96F day. 30 minute session at a trackday. The hotest I've seen my oil temp was 222F with a 34 row oil cooler and an oil pan spacer.

When I had the nismo adapter for my 34row iwas doin a lot of canyon caeving and it was 115* in palmsprings. Oil never got over 220*.

Just wanted to confirm, if I was to purchase the oil cooler that Nissan is offering does it void warranty??

If something happens as a direct result of the oil cooler or install, yes. Otherwise, no.

Buy the z1 kit!

You should have used the search button on this site to see the hundreds of discussions in regards to this subject matter. None the less they are better boses and it has a thermostat co trolled adapter...

Kliment · 08-25-2013, 11:52 PM

Well I thought since it would be a simple yes or no question would save me time thus why I asked it here.

roy'sz · 08-26-2013, 06:51 AM

Then the answer is no it won't void out your warranty, they have to prove that the cooler was the cause behind the failure of your car. Z1's kit is far superior than the nissans, I have first hand experience with this due to the fact that I had the kit goodwilled to me from coporate because I complained how hot the oil was from the start of my purchase. I retrofitted my kit with z1 hoses and a thermostatic adapter so that I could have some means of cooling.

I'm not sure what island it is that you reside on, you won't need the 34 row cooler maybe not even the 25. You should in all seriousness be okay with the 19 row and it is just under $500 if im not mistaken. There are probably dozens of threads on this subject that you can read about before your purchase if you so choose do to that. Maybe you want to go with ae since it is a horizontally based cooler...I don't know but atleast if you search you can get yourself some information on what options are out there

Usually driving it doesn't go over 220 for me, if rolling hard I saw at most 230. But that was going pretty fast on a road trip.

But the other day I noticed my temp up higher than I ever seen. This was with me letting my car idle for almost an hour when I fell asleep during lunch break. I got up to almost 260.
