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).
