370Z oil cooler necessary?

After ~15 mins of driving I'm usually at 220-230. I live in Georgia as well. I have yet to see it go above 230, but once it hits that range

After ~15 mins of driving I'm usually at 220-230. I live in Georgia as well. I have yet to see it go above 230, but once it hits that range I usually drive it more gently. As others have said above, as long as you are <240 it should be fine, even on a daily basis. Also keep in mind that if you are running synthetic your temps can be slightly higher without additional issue.

I had the same concerns over how high my engine temps got. Easily hit 225 in normal driving. Even knowing that was the norm for the Z, after reading the forums, I still got an oil cooler. If it did anything, it gave me peace of mind, and keeps my temps no higher than 205, even in spirited driving. Worth the money for peace of mind if you ask me.

South Texas here, like mexican border south, I have a 144 mile roundtrip to work. No oil cooler, I stay around 220-230 in these hot *** months. Been doing it for 7 years now since the car was new. No problems.
