This was not pushing it too hard, staying under 5500 RPMs, in 55 degree weather, etc. My hope that Nissan had at least improved the oil temp situation is dashed. Not sure what normal operating temps should be, but I am normally below 220 when running around town.

First of all I feel for you, I know high oil temps. I will say that 5500 rpm's is above the 4,000 rpm's recommended for break in. It is hard to stay below 4,000 revs. I hated my first, and later second, 1200 mile break in.

I hope it is just a case of a fresh tight, hot running engine for you. Best of luck.
