The oil temp in my 2011 Z was 215 just cruising at 75mph the other day when it was only 85deg outside. As soon as you get on the gas, you can literially see the needle move up. Other performance cars just seem to not need oil coolers at all when driving the snot out of them. Kinda pisses me off that we have to shell out major coin just to keep oil temps down.
if your gf wears panties, do you do the same too? not all cars are designed equal. if the engine is made with larger piston ring tolerence, it makes absolutely no difference. if anything, you can go back and argue not to overcool. oil are safe to go 260+ and 300+ on synthetic, not sure what everyone is whining about. put some 3m tape on the oil temp gauge and drive
