I bought mine in April (6MT, Touring, Sport); oil temps have run 220 to 260, depending on ambient air temp and type of driving (all on the street). I love the car and really enjoy driving it. But, I think this is an issue Nissan should address. I've had several conversastions with Nissan NA; bottom line is they say oil temps at this level are ok and will not result in engine damage. I'm not a mechanic or engineer, so I can not really dispute their position. I can say these are the highest oil temps I have ever seen on a sports or performance car that I've driven on the street. I intend to put an oil cooler on my car; just a matter of finding the right product and the right mechanic to do the work.
