So I've had my Z for about 9 months now and just got my first oil change. (weekend car) It was freshly serviced when I got it. The oil always ran at minimum 220 but after reading everything I figured it was normal and just needed to get myself a cooler.

So after going to Nissan and getting a service and paying the extra for the ester oil (which I had to ask for) it now sits around 190-200 for normal driving. That's a 20-30 degree difference!

I'm guessing the Subaru dealership I found it at probably put the wrong oil weight in or something. Glad I didn't push it too much with the wrong oil in it.
