No, please don't lock the thread - it's the most important concern to have surfaced so far and there may still be further developments. This thread is the main area for discussion and it should remain open for new additions.
For example, I cannot understand this phrase from the Nissan statement - "...The addition of an oil cooler would have raised the price of the car and potentially moved it out of the reach of some customers..."
That is blatantly rubbish - It would probably cost Nissan $300 max to have fitted an oil cooler to the cars. If they passed that cost onto customers in the basic price of the car nobody would have noticed, but everyone would have said, "Woooo fantastic, it's got an oil cooler!"
The real reason for the ****-up is threefold -
1. they're obsessed with keeping the cost of the car down to the bare minimum
2. they're obsessed with keeping the weight of the car down to the bare minimum
3. they didn't realise the oil overheating issue was going to get as big as it has - and now they are toughing it out.
There are too many examples on this forum of people getting oil overheating on the public highway for it not to be an issue.
