My 370Z over-heated (oil) and is damaged!

ImportConvert · 08-21-2011, 10:20 AM

Seriously. Can ANYONE say this honestly? If so, I'd like to see your story about it. I have seen a ton of teeth-gnashing over the oil temps, but have yet to see a story about something breaking because of them. Anyone care to honestly answer the title of this post in the affirmative and provide explanation?

Every topic about the 370Z that comes up and involves a prospective buyer seems to garner a "THE OIL GETS HOT!" comment. Well yeah, yes it does. Has it ever hurt anything?

Limp mode kicks in before anything can be damaged. If something got damaged before limp mode Nissan would be at fault.

my Z's oil overheated once and it turned into a WS6.

I had it happen once while I was pulling on a Z06 by about a ws6 quarter panel.

I hear when the 370z oil overheats it becomes a 2004.5 350z and is FLAWLESS!

I heard miata doors cool the oil temps by like 30*F.

I pissed in my gas tank and the serpentine belt started squeaking!
