Plus if i don't need it i can sell it. It's still in the box never opened it. I also have a gen111 ultra long tube intake in the box from stillen.

Try a set of ARC cool fins first to drop temps a wee bit. Stupid, cheap, and tacky, but works well for a 10-15* F drop.

I also have two stuck on my diff cover

I found this oil cooler on the internet.

I'm pretty sure it won't void your warranty.

You have to realize that people who post on forums generally have some kind of issue with something...in this case oil temp. When you start seeing these threads about people's oil temps getting too high you feel like this is a major problem for everyone, when in fact it is only a small percentage of all 370z owners. Ive driven my car in VA and NC in the summer (temps up to 102 and 100% humidity) and I haven't gotten the oil temp over 220 except one time, it went to like 222 haha.

Unless you plan on pushing the car hard for an extended period of time (Tracking or Autocross) you dont need to worry about it.
