Good question OP. Nobody's ever gotten down to the core about this. My s2000 never had an oil heating prob. My friend's genesis coupe 3.8 who I went to the track with a few times when i had the s never had this prob either. My buddy who drives a 335i tho.....is a different story. His cruising temps are 250+.

Did the 350z have an overheating problem? I'm not sure but I never heard of it. Could the reason be the VVEL in our engines? I read that there's a lot of friction going on over there, part of the reason why Nissan developed the diamond-like coating on the VVEL and recommends their ester oil. Maybe the excess friction generates too much heat?
