Oil Temp

phillip2010Z

limp mode a 35,000+ dollar car shouldnt go limp. When I purchased my new Z I sat inside and laughed cause the interior is crap, And the guy said you aint paying for the inside your paying for what is under the hood, With that being said you wouldnt think of high oil temp. Which I did get the sports package for free. 35,000 includes tax tags and title in the state of Texas.

I agree with you. A car that is $30 grand + should not go limp in regular driving.

I'm wondering if the .2 liters of displacement caused too much heat to be produced by the engine (compared to the VQ35DE/HR)? I've read that the Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) intake system could be responsible for this...
If so, why didn't they take time to get it right the first time & install a simple oil cooler like the one on 2012 models (?)..

What are you comparing the interior of the 370z to?
Most people will look at the previous generation Z and say that the 370 has a very nice interior. The 350z was like a matchbox car interior; although, everything fit well like the seats, steering wheel, shifter, etc.

The problem with the oil cooler on the 2012 models is that it is still not enough for track use so you still end up paying for aftermarket oil cooler if you are going to track the car. Not sure what happened with OP's car since I drove my 09 to El Paso and back from Dallas during a summer with 100+ degree temperatures and the car barely got to 230 regular driving.
