Heck just driving to work will make them climb without oil cooler here in Houston.

yea but all that money you spent on the car is going into the advanced structure, aluminum panels, hyper advanced DOHC engine, safety equipment and development...

oh wait, the focus has a lot those too^

Repped because you made me laugh! :roflpuke2: the only assumption that is safe to make with the general public, is that they are all retarded dumb a$$ who don't know there a$$ from their elbow!

In trade school a lot of the jokes well "shouldn't that code rule be common sense?" answer was always "if people had common sense you wouldn't rules and laws" and then you wouldn't see 90-99% of the crap that goes on! But as you all know theres dumb a$$ out there on a daily basis

to let you know that nissan was too cheap to put an oil cooler on the car and if you plan on having any spirited driving fun in the moderate climates,you'll have to get one. :tup:
