I have had a Mishimoto 19 row oil cooler and thermostatted plate on my 2014 Nismo 370Z since it was new. Over 100k miles on the car and oil cooler. I swapped the original sandwich plate to the rectangular alternative plate by Mishimoto. The new plate had a better location for an oil pressure sensor. I never had a leak, fitment issue, or problem with an AN line not sealing.

Yes, I live in Texas. My oil temps in the winter season stay around 185 degrees like clockwork. In the Summer season they get to 210-215 degrees on the really hot (100 +) days. On track days, of which I have had many, they get to 235 degrees during the session and then cool right back down to 220 by the time I exit the track.

One other thing, I had the car tuned with an Osiris tune. The significance of this is that the rad. fans come on 50% at 200 eg. 75% at 205 deg. and 100% at 210 deg. The car does not cook the oil or run hot.

Here is the Grain of salt bit:
Maybe my car is the exception to the "No Mishimoto" mindset I have read. For me, I have no regrets. I would buy this oil cooler setup again in a heartbeat. Just be sure the installer is competent enough to do this install, if other than yourself.
