Update.. 10/12
Spoke to Nissan Corporate for over 40 minutes on the phone regarding the 2012 370Z and the fact it has a factory installed oil cooler. Nissan Corp. will be speaking to technical folks in USA and JP regarding possible solutions for 2009 - 2011 owners who are interested in getting a OEM NissanMotorSport or NISMO oil cooler installed by the dealer and getting it warrantied. Granted they feel the engine has fault protection mechanisms in place to not cause engine problems, however, the fact the 2012 has it as a 'default OEM cooler' part tells me Nissan realized it should have been there in the first place. I conveyed this to the Nissan rep.
Currently owners can get an oil cooler installed but no warranty will be provided warranty. Based on my conversation, the Nissan rep was helpful and understood the concern current owners can have, and will be getting back to me next week.
Will keep you posted.
