I may consider an oil cooler without being on the track just for the sake of ease of mind.

The biggest thing that makes no sense to me is. I'd say a VAST majority of members on this forum mod their cars. So why complain about an oil temperature problem with this car if an oil cooler is one of the cheapest mods that can be done to the car? Stop complaining and fix the problem. I'm sure the 350z had this same problem. But without an oil temperature gauge or limp mode ignorance is bliss.
the kits are not exactly cheap now. unless you do the DIY kit they are about $400+
