SO any updates on the oil overheating problem?

Damn...so SUPPOSEDLY, you can get factory installed coolers covered under warranty for over 1 grand. HAAAAAA. How big is this dealership anyways? Even if a dealer offered me warranty, i wouldn't trust a dinky dealership for if they were to go under, you would have paid 1k for an oil cooler and STILL be screwed. I think since for the most part Nissan won't be doing anything in the very near future about this, it's just a much more hassle free to install your own at a MUCH cheaper cost and remove the cooler if engine related warranty issues arise.

+1!

I do not know others that installed a oil cooler in a 350Z (VQ3.5DE engine) that ever had a oil temp/engine failure in either NA or FI. I do not know of any 3.7 engine failures due to oil temps causing engine failure yet other than the "limp mode" issue.

I agree that the $1K price of the cooler including install is high but you shouldn't have to worry about the dealership going under. As long as you take it to a Nissan dealer, Nissan Corporate covers the warranty not the individual dealerships.
