Track days?? Forget about it. Good drivers will have the 370Z into limp mode in a just 3-4 laps at some tighter tracks.

If you daily drive your car, and with no tracking or aggressive driving, then an oil cooler would be unnecssary.

I am really surprised Nissan missed the boat on this. THe 350Z has better oil temp behavior than the 370Z, surprisingly.

Most shops should charge about 3-4 hours.

I've seen musings of what the average oil temp on the 350Z would be - do we have an actual number?
