Don't worry...There are a few girlymen here who will beat this into another 80 page thread if we let them. All you need to know is here if you have the patience to read it: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...mp-issues.html

Oil temperature is always going to be warmer than coolant temperature under hard operation. Many people see 230-260* in "spirited/racing" conditions, and up to 290 or so isn't out of the norm in hot ambient conditions.

Of COURSE the car is less-peppy with the oil at around 260*. The engine is quite obviously heat-soaked. Why wouldn't you expect to lose 10whp or so with the thing heatsoaked?

I will FULLY admit to have not read that full thread, however, please clue me in: Are they any engine failures traced to lubricant over-heating with the 370Z?
