Another Vegas Run and Oil Temps scared me

PapoZalsa · 07-26-2010, 07:41 AM

Saturday me and my friend were crusing at about 70mph. Both of our Zs oil temp was closed to 245 and the outside temp was about 104ºF.

However Nissan and some other people claims this is not a problem, however Nissan gives you the part # for the oil cooler. I'll let the warranty cover it if something happens.

Most cars don't have an oil temp gauge and now we know why. I bet most cars' oil temps get very high from time to time but because there is no gauge we are fat dumb and happy.

I predict Nissan pulls the oil temp gauge in future revisions. lol.

i'm starting to think nissan put the oil temp gauge there because they knew
there could be issues with oil temps in these cars. its a different kind of heat here in texas but between 90 to 100 its always 210 to 220. at 240 i start to worry.
