A warranty claim on my 370 - a big one ! - was recently denied because nissan found a picture online with an aftermarket oil cooler being installed (traced to me through license plate also on pic - doh!)... they may have had further reason to deny the claim, i don't have all the details, but figured i should alert you guys that the aftermarket oil cooler was part of the reason for denial, if not the only reason... please don't ask me to explain this further - i'm in the middle of a messy dispute... but just wanted to share, so folks get a sense of the risk... several dealers i've spoken with have also confirmed that nissan has a history of denying warranty claims due to aftermarket oil coolers... We need some official input from Nissan, but if you want to be conservative, i'd advise waiting for the nismo oil cooler, which i've been told will most definitely not have any negative impact on warranty...
Re a nismo oil cooler, i might as well spill the beans on this since nissan hasn't treated me well at all lately!... i talked with a rep at nismo a month ago... he said they are accelerating commercialization, directly resulting from the user feedback here ! nissan usa is paying attention to this board... and i was told that several threads from this board circulated 'nissan headquarters'
Finally, re oil pressure, highly recommend adding an oil pressure gauge if you're going to the trouble of adding an oil cooler... there are gauges that should fit in place of your clock - hopefully DDM or someone will make a kit for us !
yes, this is a cowardly pseudnym post... please just don't ask !
