From what I can see not a SINGLE person has had an engine fail due to these supposed "high" oil temperatures. The only reason this whole thread exists is just straight up ignorance. How many of you guys on here bitching about the "high temps" have EVER had an oil temp gauge in another car? How do you know that 240* is too high? What does your wife's minivan run at? NEWS FLASH!!! It's probably the freakin same!!!

Nissan didn't put the gauge in the car because they "knew it was a problem" That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.. almost. If they knew that was a problem, the LAST thing they'd do is put a gauge that shows every person with internet access that there's a problem. What Nissan did do was give themselves a giant headache by putting that temp gauge in there so you guys could bitch about high engine temps. If the coolant temp isn't getting too higih, then it's probably not overtemp. I bet if there were a tranny or diff temp gauge in there, you'd bitch about those temps being too high as well. Maybe some EGT gauges scattered about would be better?
