I have a letter sent to Corporate Nissan USA in regards to finding out what the gameplan is for 2009-2011 Z owners.

From my take, the dealers told me they were against installing an oil cooler as it's an aftermarket part, but, now, w/ the 2012 release, I don't see how their argument is justified, when the same engine from previous years now has a standard oil cooler.

Hopefully corporate can provide an answer.

Will keep you guys posted.

It would be great if most of us on this forum can start a dialogue w/ corporate and see what their plan is for 2009 - 2012, knowing there is an issue which warranted the oil cooler on 2012 as standard equipment.

Everyone has an opinion on this subject, and alot of folks cry and whine and become complacent and deal w/ it, but unless owners speak up, and be proactive, nothing will get done.

well its 3 years to late. i won't hold my breath waiting for a letter from nissan
telling me to come get my new oil cooler. luckily over heating hasn't been a problem for me. but i know it has been for others...

let me put another spin on this. i'm betting nissan is getting ready for 2013 or 2014 for a complete redo of the z with at least 375-400 hp and no way these
newer models would do without a oil cooler.. imho

I agree but don't hold your breath until you see the new G37 or G first. The year after you will see a new Z. That's not going to happen quite yet. The altima and sentra will get new models next year. The maxima will see a dramatic refresh. The versa cube and trucks will get nothing until the new Z comes out. After all these refreshes, you will see the new G. Then you will see the new Z. So in late 2014: you will see a 2015:

I don't track my car but have seen temps get up to about 260 in spirited mountain driving. While it would be nice of Nissan to retrofit coolers to older 370Z's for free I don't expect it and those of you who do are probably going to be disappointed so quit whining.
That being said, I'm going to continue to monitor the information about the cooler as more concrete data becomes known. I would pay $600-$800 for a dealer installed, warrantied part and chalk it up to experience. That would be worth it for peace of mind in my opinion.
