Default Oil temp ?

Did a few pulls for the first time in this Z.

First off, 60-70mph rolls against a 11' 7AT. (closed and private road). That thing shifts quick.

Anyway, I noticed that my oil temp under normal driving takes an incredible amount of time to get to normal operating temp (I figure about 210-220ish according to my gauge).

It was around 200 when I made my first run, and by the second un I noticed I was hitting 240 on the gauge. After seeing that I let off and ended it. I also seemed to notice a bit of a burnt oil smell. Popped the hood when I stopped and didn't see anything, no drips on the ground either. (smell was prop my imagination)

Question, this seems a bit high IMO, is it???

I did see that the first answer to "what I should look out for/do to my 09'" was an oil cooler.

Thanks guys, going from 350 to 370 doesn't seem like a big deal, but I want to make sure the car is well why I learn this new platform.

Mike
