The OEM is good for just driving around, but when you get spirited on the track, the oil temp will get upwards of 260+ The engine coolant seemed to be fine, only the oil temp. I use the Nissan Ester oil. You may want to check your brake fluid, as it would get hot as well.
You should try Amsoil signature series as well. It helps to keep oil temps down and the viscosity break down decimates other oils.
