I did some spirited driving with no cooler and ambient temp at 105 and it shot from 235 to 260. I got the cooler kit from nissan for $0 via nissan north america and installed for $0. I don't track my car but love me some canyon carving. After the kit being installed I filled the car up and went to my normal hills. I did a long run up the hill running about 95% and the oil never got hotter than 220. I came back from palm springs and again never hit over 220 and it was 109 out there. I need the thermo because of the cooler nights. Have heard from other experienced guys on here that it won't make too much of a difference at night when i go home with it being cooler i may have to block off some of the cooler.
