I find it out that over 40% report no issues at all with oil temperatures, but only 2% say that no action is required. If you're not having any issues, like me, why do you think there needs to be a fix?

I'm certainly not disputing that some 370z owners are having issues, of course.

I've never driven a sports car before, but what *should* be the oil temp on a 100 degree day during spirited driving? Are there any sports cars without factory oil coolers running cooler than 220 in that environment?

I'm sure I'll be flamed for it, but I think a couple credible forum members having some rough days after tracking (or possibly driving the snot out of) their Zs are making people go into panic mode. I guess after a Georgia July passes, I'll find out if I need to eat my own words.
