Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Has decreased power output ever been verified on a dyno as oil temp. rises?

I've seen several references on this site to the ECU decreasing the engine power ouput as the oil temperature rises.

Has anyone ever actually taken a 370Z, put it on a dyno and measured the power output at different oil temperatures?

You'd think by now someone would have done this (especially oil cooler kit vendors???) and posted the results in order to verify or dismiss the rumors about the ECU decreasing the power output.
