oil cooler

Engine tolerance are different now compare to years past, that's why cars tend to run hotter. Also oil are more efficient at higher temp, that's why it isn't all bad

I also have noticed that the A/C on, my oil temp is not as high.. Here in Houston we have had some nice days, so all I needed was the fan. I was driving hard and it got up to about 220.. I then turned on the A/C for the rest of the ride home and my temps went back to normal to around 200..

I have noticed 230-235 after a SHORT, spirited romp on several occasions already this year an it's not even hot yet. Concerns me a little that I may have an issue this summer. We'll see. I would feel much better hovering at 200 and hitting 220 when pushed. I won't hesitate to install an oil cooler if it continues. Babying this car to keep the temps down is not why I purchased it.

OP its an easy add on if you find you need it later. Budget for it anyway.

This is the only car I've had with numbers on the oil temp guage, for all I know all my cars have run in the low to mid 200's.

I think it comes down to how hot your Z runs already. As some have said their Z has higher oil temps than others and some run cooler.

Mine on a relatively cool day driving on the freeway at 75-80 runs around 200. On a hot day I run at around 220-225.

When I drove 12-15 miles or so on GMR (glendora mountain road) and was constantly in 2nd/3rd gear with rpms going from 3k-5k most of the time I hit 260 before I even made it to the top and had to take a break to avoid going into limp mode (280).

IMHO my Z runs a bit hotter than it should. I am considering getting an oil cooler myself but each situation is different. I can definitely attest that some Z's can very well go into limp mode and run hotter than they should without an oil cooler even when you don't drive them on the track.
