Oil Temp Survey

Mag350Z · 03-15-2010, 01:13 PM

Very interesting data. This remains one of the main reasons why I have not upgraded to a 370Z. Living in South Florida, I do not feel like concentrating on oil temps instead of just enjoying the car. Personally, I am hoping that Nissan will at least offer the oil cooler as an option for the 2011 model year. Some extra HP would also be nice.
Otherwise the 350Z will be traded in for a 2011 Mustang GT.
I love the stying of the 370Z, and the performance is excellent for the price, but I've been there and done that with Nissan with a Rev Up oil consuming 350Z. Nissan should learn something from the Toyota fiasco and be proactive in dealing with customer complaints regarding their automobiles. I would argue that limp mode could be a safety issue if it were to engage at an during spirited driving.
