Going to performance driving school. 2010 Z oil temp question

shabarivas

Just went out to Infineon weekend or so ago - almost installed the cooler I have sitting but went without it - wasnt too bad - took it easy 1 out of 4 sessions - drove her pretty hard otherwise. Temps in the 60s

Even though the events are NOT timed, you'll be surprised what your insurance company will come up with.

During my recent DE, when I kept it easy I was okay. I was about 250-260. However, in one of the run when I was pushing it a little harder (Not as hard because of my slightly older brake fluid and being nervous about losing brake), I think I went over 270-275 (that's in cool 50s temp). That's just 20ish degrees below limp mode. Redline (what I use) is a GREAT oil and are designed to withstand such oil temp and abuse. So I wasn't nervous with such temps. HOWEVER, if you're serious about going to track regularly and you're still using regular dino oil, oil cooler is a must for tracks. I need to do my brakes next (new synthetic fluid, possibly new track/street compound pads and) then I'll focus on oil cooler.
