Today will be rainy. But if its 116 out, the car will just be a little more laggy and when running the A/C on mid or full, the car might bog out if parked or stationary for too long. I also dont have an oil cooler. So my temps are crusing at 220 and when im on it, their at 230+ (At least mine does...)

Yeah....mine runs and performs better in cooler weather. But that's expected since the air is densor. My S/C 4Runner runs very sluggish in the summer.

As far as the Z, since adding the oil cooler, my temps are around 205-210 at their highest with water temps below half. Z responds much better with the cooler oil temps. Plus, with adding a larger filter, it gave me more capacity.

That's my oil temps in Massachusetts when it's 80's - 90's. This is in stop and go traffic though. Once I start driving it decreases to 190-200.
