Now, I understand. But I also know I don't drive to Vegas all the time either, in high heat. But still..Some people actually LIVE in places like this and that would scare me.
I still love my car. But I don't think I'll drive it through Baker again in 100+ degree temps. I'll time my trips to not be in the heat of the day. But sure wish I didn't have to worry about that with a new car  |
I live in AZ and I regularly see my temps getting into the 240+ range, it’s been in 110 -115 degree range daily (dont worry it cools to a brisk 95 at night) and it does not take much to get that temp up. I have been told by a few Nissan tec's and many people here, the high temps are to be expected. I am planning for an oil cooler sooner than later but I think if there was no Oil Temp gauge most would never see/realize there is any issue at all.
Many here say that you only need an oil cooler if you are tracking the car, I believe you only need an oil cooler if you are tracking the car ... or live in the armpit of hell which is Arizona.
Thats my two cents.
