Try changing your oil more frequently and see if those temps come down.

Haha, yah and make sure you use crushed ice, cubes just don't give that edge.

Wow - next time you're at the dealer, ask your service writer how Nissan's ester oil lowers oil temp! I'd sure like to hear that explanation...

And you probably don't have to change your oil every 1500 miles - look at the Z's Owners Manual and pick the service interval that matches your driving conditions (most likely 3750 miles).

The oil cooler is a Nissan Motorsports accessory (link to thread on Nissan's oil cooler, link to thread comparing Nissan's oil cooler to Stillen's).

my tech told me Ester oil is good for 5,000 mile intervals. Which luckally im only at 3,000. I started this thread upset because I was due for an oil change but i ca hold off now for at least another 1,000 miles. BTW, the top tech at my dealership said what i was origiannly told to be wrong, that other oil can be used. The only difference is that he has heard is other oil besides the ester making our cars "louder". Anyways, hopefully I will figure out what to do over the next few months. Maybe I will just stick with ester for the life of the vehicle....Who knows :tup:

thanks for the info, i'll give them the part # for the cooler and see what their response is but i think its time to find another service dept.:shakes head:

After going thru' many threads here, I gather that 370s need the ester bit, but 350s don't. Keep searching this issue, guy, 'cause it's quite an investment--your 370, that is--and you should make a little investment now, in order to avoid wear and tear in that sweet engine with time. Good searching!

I just had my oil changed at my dealer and he used Mobile 1. He said he only uses Ester if you ask for it but that it's a bunch of crap about the warranty being void.

So take that for what it's worth.

Ain't it the truth. More rumor and innuendo in this thread, what was that about changing oil more frequently than 1500 miles to lower temps? Wut?

i use pancake syrup. change it every 767 miles. 800 is too many.

Wut? You don't think changing your oil more frequently will reduce oil temps? Neither do I but I'm just trying to feed more rumours and innuendo because some of the audience in here eats it up, sadly.:yum:

LOL, dammit I missed the sarcasm. :tiphat:

I've decided to convert mine to Biodiesel. Freedom Fries, baby.

yeah but if you wanna go over 800 then you gotta use Camp maple syrup.
