its getting hot in Texas. my z has right at 10,000 miles and worst I've seen was driving back from San Antonio to Austin couple weeks back. outside temp was 102F... Oil temp 230-235. Cruising sixth gear around 70-80 mph light traffic on I35. While not terrible I do think thats hot for cruising in top gear on a flat smooth interstate freeway. Once I exited the interstate near home and sat at the first red light the temp came down to 220 pretty quick.
