New Car and Driver review of the 370z... oil temp fail!

KaienZ34 · 09-08-2011, 04:04 PM

DIY fix for 370z oil temp problem.

1st: Find some electical tape (preferably black).
2nd: Place a small strip of tape on the oil temp gauge.
3rd: Just drive and injoy, if your not tracking the car you won't have any oil temp problems.

Since early 09 when i got the Z i have not even hit 220 much less the 280+ needed for limp mode.

You are supposed to hit 220 in regular driving, the motor is water cooled and the typical water temp is 210F.
