oil cooler necessary ?

marathonmann · 05-07-2014, 04:01 PM

Yeah, thats what i thought. Thanks for all the input guys. Driving it home from work today I noticed the oil temp between 200 and 220 and I really wasn't hammering on it. I guess I'll start looking at oil coolers...any suggestions ? This is an expense i wasn't counting on when I bought the car recently so hopefully it's not too costly with labor to install. Someone has used one on EBAY from a G37 sport edition which he claims will fit the 370Z. I guess it's a factory part they put on the G37's. Less than $100 shipped

Don't buy that one. The only way a G37 got a factory oil cooler would have been the same POS oil to water unit they put on 2012+ Zs. Buy a real oil cooler. I'd make sure to get a thermostatic sandwich plate instead of a regular one as well. Do it right the first time. And if you're mechanically capable of changing oil, you can handle the oil cooler install no problem.

I wouldn't use that thing. Get a good one.
