So what happens to 220 degrees past 4k rpms? I'm scared to find out.
Well that day was today. Although some could argue that 250-260F isn't "that bad..." on a car that is NA and brand new... I would totally disagree.

Today was my first spirited driving with a few WOT pulls and mostly 5-6k strong pulls. WOW how fast that oil rose to 250, it was unreal. It took less than 5 minutes at street temps of 85F.

So before I go to my Next auto X. I was doing some research and came across this site. Has anybody used this product yet? Has it successfully cured the 370's issue?

I know this thread isn't the fix one but rather the "jump aboard the recall" bandwagon. (which I am all for BTW cause... WTF! right?) But I am also not interested in driving my 40k sports car like my grandma. Till Nissan gets their acts together which could take 4-ever. So forgive the link.

It looks large enough to do the trick.
