Hi,

I am new here. I have a 2010 370Z, sport, 6MT, touring, black. Adding a Setrab oil cooler this weekend. The car works great.

I've noticed that when I turn the car off, the engine produces a LOT of heat. After the car has been off for a few minutes, the area on the hood by the lights is too hot to touch. Very hot. The engine cross beam is also too hot to touch.

Is this normal ? This happens after I have done a normal drive home from work - not spirited driving at all. Some stop and go traffiic but mostly highway. The oil temp gauge never gets above 110 (Celcius, I am in Canada). That's 230 Fahrenheit. I am terrified of destroying this car. Thanks.
