I always wonder, do the 3.5 maxima, Altima and FX/M37 ever have this oil temp "problem"? I think the oil temp gauge is making us z guys a little too conscious (myself included)..

Having said all that, being a car lover, there's nothing wrong with preferring a cooler oil temp.
Yes they do, my old Maxima would burn up oil, so I assume the new one will too!


I'll be adding an oil cooler sooner than later
