So I am still breaking my car in, so not totally sure how that figures into this, but I went for a mountain drive today and my oil temperature rapidly got up to about 250 degrees. This was not pushing it too hard, staying under 5500 RPMs, in 55 degree weather, etc. My hope that Nissan had at least improved the oil temp situation is dashed. Not sure what normal operating temps should be, but I am normally below 220 when running around town.
