I wonder with the weather that we are having if this is going to be the norm I don't think i will be able to drive the Z often we are getting this weather all summer long.
I haven't experienced 112°F in my Z, but 90°F and aggressive driving with a 34 row oil cooler hasn't caused any excessive temps. Preciously I sometimes saw 280°F and backed off to get temps down. As many have noted, a block off plate in the winter allows oil temps to get sufficiently warm enough in a reasonable amount of time.

This is why the oil cooler is my favorite mod.
