I just got back from the dealership. They said they couldn't find the Nismo oil cooler with the part number I provided -_-

Well FWIW regarding the oil temp sensor accuracy, my oil temp used to rest at 220-225*F when driving and spike up to 250 pretty quickly during aggressive city driving (mostly due to higher RPMs).
After adding an oil cooler kit with a thermostatically controlled plate set at 180*F, my oil temps seem to rest at about 185*F when cruising around town and about 195 on the freeway. They go up to about 220 during aggressive driving, but that's as high as I've seen them go so far. The important clue here is the oil cooler sandwich plate is set at roughly 180*F, and I see my oil temps rest around 185*F. Without having an intimate knowledge of how the oil plumbing works inside the oil pan, to me, that says the temp sensor is likely accurate. |

People who are complaining most about oil temps are the ones that are driving their cars hard enough to cause issues with oil temps for just about any car without an oil cooler to have "issues"... |

Really depends on your definition of "step on the gas on the highway". If you mean you want to pass another commuter in your nice-looking car, you won't have any problems. If it means you want to double the speed limit for a long time, maybe Even then, highway isn't so much the issue, it's aggressive low-speed driving with lots of repeated accel/decel cycles that really runs the oil temps up. And even then, you won't limp-mode the car on the street, I don't think anyone has reported that yet. You'll just potentially wear out your oil and your engine faster.
