I have a 2012 base 370z that im slowly upgrading. Living in Texas the summers can get up to 110 easily. I've recently noticed that when driving slightly hard on the Z the oil temps start reaching 220-240, so im looking at ordering the Nismo Racing Oil Cooler
Nismo Racing Oil Cooler Kit (34 row) -- 370z - 21300-SS370 - Nismo
I've done some research both on this forum and just general web searches and I cant find a 100% clear answer.
2012 370Z All Models Include Oil Cooler
2012 Nissan 370Z: Standard Oil Cooler, Pricing Unchanged - autoevolution
2012 Z Factory Oil Cooler - PIC AND PART NUMBERS INSIDE
Does the 2012 in fact have an oil cooler? If so is the stock part # 21300-ss370? Some sites say that's the factory part #21300-SS370 ( but other sites list that part # as the Nismo Racing Oil cooler).
I intend to do some track runs with this car and from what I read the computer kills the power if it detects the oil temps are beginning to run high.
The questions I have are:
1. Does the 2012 have a stock oil cooler?
2. Is the stock oil cooler part # 21300-SS370?
3. Would you recommend spending the 780.00 on the Nismo Racking Oil cooler.
General feedback is appreciated!
