Hotter oil temp than an average car may be a good thing, that could mean we have more efficient lubrication systems, since more heat is going into the oil, which means higher shear stresses are being carried in the oil (better lubrication), or more engine heat is transfered to the oil, keeping the engine cooler. I doubt the higher temperature does any damage to the oil, since the peak oil temp in the cylinder is well above what it reads in the oil pan (mixed up with cooled off oil).

same here

South Texas mine has gotten 240+ on the dyno I'm pretty sure haha. That's without hitting a limp mode so you're perfectly fine bro, enjoy the car !

~220 Degrees on a daily basis

This made my head hurt.

I can barely get my engine temps to 180 when I'm just driving around town in 30F weather now. A highway jaunt will get me to 200F, but the Z is running cold these days. If I ever did an oil cooler, I'd need more than a thermostat. Wonder if I could just put a valve inline to manually allow/bypass oil cooler flow as needed for the season.

I hear ya. Took a long time to get my temps to about 200 in cold weather.

A Used Oil Analysis (UOA) is a man's best friend.

Nissan knows they have some problems.
A friend of mine works for a research group that is looking into over heating issues not only in the engine, but trany and rear end.
He has asked if they could put a heat sensor on the rear axle of my 370 so they can get on road test of the rear axle.

My oil temp is higher in "stop and go" city driving than on the highway. City it is just above 200 and highway (65-75 mph) is well below 200

You guys know you have a 6th gear for highway...
