2012 Model Will Have OIl Cooler

I don't blame you for complaining as I have plenty of gripes over Nissan myself, and I have owned plenty of Nissans myself (I just recently had my $30 oil change taken away because I was 8 miles over the contract). I just think you are barking up the wrong tree and are getting too worked up over nothing. If you are consistently getting into limp mode, then yes I would be pissed and it is tough to swallow paying that $600. I just think it isn't as big of a problem as you think as most people are not going to hit 150mph (the only track that can get that fast are rovals since no tracks in NOrth America will let a stock Z hit 150mph due to the room it needs) nor will they hit limp mode everyday on their way to work. Where do you stop? Are you going to recall every car for fuel starvation too? I would argue that's a bigger issue and it can be a safety thing, same with the inaccurate fuel gauge.

Since this is turning into a Mustang forum, what about guys who bought a 2010 and got a 4.6L motor? Should they recall their cars and install a 5.0? I just don't think any manufactures are going to risk that much unless it is safety.

I would be curious to see what kind of cooler is it, I am willing to bet it is an oil warmer on the oil filter.
