Oil Temp Survey

austex · 08-17-2010, 03:57 PM

its getting hot in Texas. my z has right at 10,000 miles and worst I've seen was driving back from San Antonio to Austin couple weeks back. outside temp was 102F... Oil temp 230-235. Cruising sixth gear around 70-80 mph light traffic on I35. While not terrible I do think thats hot for cruising in top gear on a flat smooth interstate freeway. Once I exited the interstate near home and sat at the first red light the temp came down to 220 pretty quick.

Austex - that is normal as far as I can tell. Until i put a cooler on the car that is exactly what I was running - to and from SA from Austin on IH35 or 281. I have a project in SA and make the trip often. You have no worries mate.

Do the 2011 370z's have oil coolers?? I just ordered one with the sport package and plan on running it hard.

No they do not come with an Oil Cooler, and the way I understand it, if you get one installed you void your warranty.

If you install the Nissan Oil Cooler will not Void your Warranty.

Also NO Dealer should void the warranty of your car for any aftermarket parts installed on your car unless the aftermarket part is the cause of the problem. They only can void the warranty of the part damage and not the whole car.

Read about the Magnuson Law.

Oh don't worry there's nothing wrong. On the other hand you are one of thousands that dealer take atvantage of their ignorance and try immediately to void warranties of the car for them to make profit. Now you know theirs a law that protect the after market parts for any car. So if I sound rude my bad. Wasn't my intention. :-)
