350z's had basically the same oil cooler in them, and they decided to not give it to the 370z.

Very odd because Nissan had to know the oil temps got hotter than they should while developing the car.

350z's also didnt have an oil temperature gauge to my knowledge...

So its like Nissan said .... lets spend the money on an oil temperature gauge (so people can not let there oil get too hot), but we'll do that with the money we saved from removing the $30 oil cooler....

not sure why the vq37 runs oil hotter than the 35de or 35hr other than the lack of that oc they now added...
