Alright guys, here's my experience. My Z is a typical daily driver and rarely race (street or track), but once in awhile I'll get a tad spirited as long as I keep in control for the sake of safety for everyone on the road. You don't need to drive fast to have run, right?

Anyhow, I've monitored the oil temp gauge during my usual commute. Initially it would hover at 180 deg. Once I get spirited with SyncroRev (still keeping revs below 4k regardless of how much trottle), the temps would over around 200 deg. The manual states 280 deg. is the absolute max.

Outside temp is 77 deg. with lots of wind (20+ mph).

I can only imagine what summer would be like, but that's my typical commute with freeway driving no more than 65mph.

Overall, conservative driving (paranoia) with 50% throttle to 4k rpm at times and lots of SynchroRev fun.
