No actually, I will be, however before the mobile 1 there didnt seem to be an issue w oil temp. It was nissans oil prior. I understand that the typical response would be just to go back to the nissan oil, but I really wanted to look at what others are running.

Ps. What oil coolers are the most recommended, especially when summer runs around here in AZ? This will be a must before summer rolls around and w the issue Im having now, probably sooner.

Being on this forum for over a year, I have seen that it doesn't really matter what type of oil you use as far as oil temp goes. Get an oil cooler. It's possible also that since getting the TT kit, you're probably driving your car a bit harder thus the higher temp. Get an oil cooler

I am Not TT'ed but I like to run road courses. I run a Z1 34 Row oil cooler.
Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler Kit

I run Mobil 1 Extended Performance. On the track, and after a 20 min session of Hard running I see just over 200 degrees.

I highly recommend a oil cooler since your TT'ed.

Chad
