You sir are correct on both accounts! It works fine for me in SoCal as I never track or race the car. Sorry for the brain fart on the oil cooler models.

This particular engine is in other Nissan cars such as the G37's which doesn't have an oil temp gauge. As other poster stated, is it just an over-reaction or there are real oil temp issues.

Personally, I think 210-220 is perfectly fine because the oil needs to reach about 210 to get rid of the condensation in the oil.
I called it a band aid, as to me that is what it is. Something to appease the masses (even though it doesn't really do much) who have complained about the "high" oil temps they think they had on the streets.

I agree that it is not a problem hitting 220 and nothing to get spun up about.
