Oil Overheat IMPORTANT UPDATE

shabarivas · 05-12-2009, 06:58 PM

Hey man... do you know of any closed courses and/or dragstrips near your house? just take him there with you and run it hard a couple times after she warms up ... should be easy to repro even if its not too hot outside...

If Bill doesn't already know that oil temp is the No 1 issue confronnting 370Z owners then he has no right being employed in the position tha he is in.

that's like a lung doctor today saying "I've never heard that smoking is linked to lung cancer"

We all know that there are enough oil temp issues out there that have been documented by reputable car mags, z owners and track heads to qualify it as a legitimate issue.

I can't believe that Nisssan itself doesn't have boat loads of documented cases that Nissan itself created while developing/testing the car. They know the issue is there and that it is a legitimate concern.

Question is, what are they going to do about it?

They should include oil cooler as standard on all future production runs (and replace that fuel guage and add a digital speedo while they are at it) and simply issue a recall to all existing owners to have the cooler installed.

....fat chance

While I'm sure that would do the trick, he appears most interested in the daily, street driving aspect of the problem.
