Getting close to 3k on the clock so my first oil change isn't far off. Will wait until the oil cooler gets here and have to dump the black stuff anyways. Already have couple jugs of Mobil 1 on standby!

What's the optimal oil temp for a Z? Even on the drive through 30+ weather to Alberta, I didn't get much more than a bit higher than 92ish.

A week ago I hit a touch over 120c in a short hop down Deerfoot. Granted it was 33c outside but it was enough to give me pause.

Though I drove to red deer a couple days ago and never hit more than about 92. Though it was only 22c out.

In any case without knowing what kind of summer we are going to have I'd rather be prepared and have the cooler than regret it and have to order one. Plus I'd like the car to see at least some track time this year when it's done.

Am I making a mistake and wasting money? Possibly, but I couldn't say with certainty either way.

Better safe than sorry (i.e., oil that stinks worse than a grease dumpster out back of a KFC).

Murica confused by your numbers.

92 isn't bad. 90-110is my operating temps. Altho in the mid low 20's I hit 120-130on the dragon. Will tell you how I was driving lol

In stop n go I'll go over 110 mid summer in toronto. Your car will pull timing over 100 and you will really notice after 110

Sorry neighbo(u)r! Haha.

It dawned on me that if you're going mostly highway speeds, airflow's probably enough to keep the oil in its sweet spot temp. It's the pesky low speed, high rate of acceleration, that probably makes the cooler necessary.
