Everyone with oil temp issues

ZForce · 08-29-2009, 09:24 AM

Back in May when heading to Laguna Seca in Monterey CA, two 370Z's in our group including myself hit limp mode. We were on the highway, hot dogging on a warm morning (about 80 degrees). It did not take much or very long for limp mode to kick in.

Note: The car had about 750 miles on the engine.

Since then another very hard run in July on very much cooler day (65 degrees) up through a canyon and both 370Z's did NOT go into limp mode. Mileage on the engine then was about 4000 miles.

Normal day to day driving in the summer time (90+ degrees) the oil temps are 225 - 235 with no high reving or pushing it.
