I live in Illinois so I hope this won't be a huge issue but still has me concerned. How serious is the oil temp problem for someone who will be using the car as a daily driver and will not see track time?
I don't track my car and I have yet to see any oil temp problem. Switch to a good synthetic and you'll be just fine. Today it was 95 degrees out but "feels" 105 degrees. I drove all day without an issue.


2) Has Nissan in fact released an oil cooler available for purchase yet?
YES. It's currently backorded but should be available soon.
Nissan Motorsports Oil Coolers


3) If so, what are the odds of me negotiating the cooler being worked into the price for free before buying?
A matter of $1000 installed (780 cooler + labor). You decide how you want to bargain for this.
