Do you think there may be an issue and if so, should the dealer know what to do ???
2) Will be coming up on first oil change, is switching to Mobil 1 beneficial ? Will it let oil run cooler ?
I appreciate any input as this is my first import sports car and I need to learn lots ...

I have been there Florida gets very hot and humid in the summer. In your hot climate in Florida running a quality synthetic motor will help your engine run cooler over dino motor oil rather if you observe this on your temperature gauges or not. You can use Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic motor oil it will be fine just make sure to use a quality oil filter if you are switching to synthetic on your next oil change. Even though you already have an engine oil cooler it should work fine 220-230 degrees is normal operating temperatures for our engines but the VQ37HR runs hot unfortunately that is how they were designed to operate. If you do a lot of sprinted driving or go to the track I would recommend getting an aftermarket engine oil cooler it is more efficient for cooling.
