If you do get a 2011 or 2010: you will have to drive it hard to know. You may or may not have the issue? If you do? Hopefully maybe? Nissan will have a warranteed retrofit??? Strong maybe. We can only hope...
The oil cooling issue is one of two issues worth fixing about this car. The second is brake cooling. But that's another story.

what track did you not see oil issues on???
OP-
Oil is not worth concerning yourself for street driving, unless you plan to do something like drive the Dragon hard all the way through. Temps are not really going to be a problem for street driving.
Even if you were to somehow hit limp mode on the street, stage 1 only limits you to 5.5k...not really going to be problematic, just slow it down. It's not until you hit 300 that stage two hits, which is 3k...that can actually get you in trouble, but I don't see you hitting that on the street...certainly shouldn't hit either in normal driving.
