Never been there, but had good service from Sherwood Nissan. I'm very surprised on the oil temp. Do you recal where the engine temp was? Mine runs about two "dots" below the center. My oil temp has been running around 90-95 deg C. I've not been driving it too hard just yet, as I'm trying to keep it in the break-in zone. Drove it at a sustained 120-130 km/hr yesterday, and oil temp was around 100. I used to drive a Golf GTI, only other vehicle I had with an oil temp, and it would run around 100. If you drove it with your foot on the mat, it would rise to 140. I suspect some of the posts here are more to do with having a visible measurement where there was none before. Out of sight out of mind you know. Not suggesting a cooler for the track is not necessary though but for non-sustained foot on the mat driving off the track, find it hard to believe a cooler is a must have.
