SYNTHETIC. Well my Z has seen a huge change in performance. Aggressive driving, the Z stayed steady at 190 degrees with an average temp outside of 53 degrees. This past week I haven't seen more than 230. All excellent temps. I know the weather is the culprit. Hmmm. It seems k&n filter and a good synthetic oil keep this car at bay in fall and temps below 90 degree weather.
Which garners this question. Would adding an oil cooler for intense summer heat damage the car during cooler and winter months when driving? I'm in texas so putting the Z away for winter is about 4 to 6 weeks... lol.
Is there a way to disengage oil cooling during winter months without removing the unit. I've never driven either Z in such cool weather and its doing insanely well.
