The 370z oil temps are read before going in the engine though. So if the guage shows 180 degrees, then real oil temps are probably 200

EDIT for those new to the discussion this applies to those with an oil cooler only.
haha lovely, so since I dont have a cooler, my temps are actually higher than whats being read... oh boy lol

I hope I am understanding this correctly...

They shouldn't be. Your set up doesn't allow the oil to cool off enough between when it exits the engine block and comes back in

Well I bought the car in the cold months sub 40-30 degree weather so it always used to take a little for the car to warm up but now it has recently gotten warmer in NY like 60-70 it only needs like a minute or two then I drive. I'm still learning lol, I didn't own the car in summer or even hot weather and I've seen temps of 220-230 for the first time in 70 degree weather . Im scared to see what temps I'll see in 90-100+ weather in NY.
