It might be nice to have more specific numbers on that, and to know whether it's a car-to-car mfg variation versus a difference in driving style and conditions that causes the varied experiences people are seeing on the street....
But honestly, to me that sounds like a lot of work for not much benefit. It still doesn't tell us jack, ultimately, about how oil temps are affecting engine life in the long term. Only destructive testing in a lab can do that.
Yeah...that the a good way (destructive testing in lab conditions) that I was thinking as well; however, I do not think anyone would sacifice their 3.7Z engine for a destructive failure test. Alternatively, the datalog method of 370 engines may enlighten other 370z/37G owners to the preceive oil temp issue.

Yes, one would have to datalog all the engine parameters including outside temps and conditions and driving conditions. I believe Nissan uses the newer version OBD III consult in the 370Z that I currently do not have. Maybe Nissan would be willing to provide one for testing purposes-hint!
