what is the threshold for overheating? Nissan made that definition and implemented into their ECU logic, it is not like when you overheat the coolant and it spews out the overflow, if you don't have a gauge you wont know if they oil is "overheating" and what temperature is considered overheating.

Like I said the 350Z's were probably experiencing these temps as well but just didn't know it as there was no gauge and no ECU logic to deal with it.

It will probably go down as one of those things Nissan will regret having added to the Z or at least rethink their oil temp feedback logic to the ECU.
