has anyone managed to verify this yet? ive tried talking to my local nissan techs.... but unfortunately they seem to be suffering from the same side effects as the overheating cars....cough lol

seriously though, AK? Phelan? Socal? anyone? has anyone truely no **** actually tested this and have some sort of documentation or electronic/mechanical component that measures this? so far from what ive seen, its still kinda a "guess" as to the exact temp the motor goes into stupid mode to cool down.

When warming up my car I allow it to go up to 5 Dots on the indicator.
Warming up your car is VERY important!
Even though it's real cold here in the north east I always wait event to turn on the heater cause I care about my baby.

Sounds like a job for a thermostat.
