I think an oil-temp gauge was an unfortunate addition to the 370Z. A G-meter would have been more practical and less unnerving.

I have seen posts on here about people whining about 210* oil temps because of all this.

With a good synthetic, as long as you don't hit limp mode, you're fine. If you find yourself running into limp-mode a few times, then it's time to re-consider options.

The car won't rev past a certain rpm. (I think 5K) when the oil is hotter than a certain temp (280?).
