Steve is right, you'll never have any problems on the street with a stock 370Z. I drive really hard on the track and the does amazing... Don't let my limp mode deter you in your decision. I think the Z is a great car and would buy again in the future. I absolutely love it! I had an 06 350Z; the 370Z is hands down a better and faster ride.

The 370z comes standard with an oil cooler. Which can be upgraded easily with a stillen oil cooler that replaces the existing cooler and will reduce the avg oil temp. Using a good oil like Ams or Redline will also reduce the avg oil temps. I use Ams oil and I have seen I avg 180 and never exceed 220. And trust me I dont baby the car.

First time my car has hit 260 oil temps at the track the last time I went. Yea a bit too much. But selling the car anyways, so I am done racing for now.

A lot of people confuse the power steering cooler for an Oil unit.. On results, hit my DIY ink in my sig and go to the end. These seem to be about the same results as the commercially available kits..

modshack's recommended DIY kit seems to be adequate for some folks... I'm probably at the extreme end - I have a dual core setrab custom job that allows me to push very hard at the track and never get over 250... i'm still trying to convince my shop to offer this kit to the public... stillen offers two kits, I'd recommend just going for the larger one if you go that direction btw, I respectfully disagree with our esteemed forum admin that you do not need an oil cooler on the street... if you read back a page, we discussed that in detail... there are conditions where driving within reason on the street you will get you to very high oil temps and limp home mode |

Reluctant to purchase 370Z
Hello,
first time posting here. Own a 2006 350z 6MT. Looking at trading in for a 370, but reluctant secondary to oil temp issues. Most posts here seem to claim that this is not really an issue with road use, however MotorTrend recently posted a review of the 370Z Roadster. They mention that although they enjoyed the 370Z, they REPEATEDLY experienced limp mode with spirited driving with high ambient temperatures. I live in South Florida, and unfortunately think this issue will prevent me from buying the 370Z. To my mind, it just seems really shortsighted to spend so much time and money developing the SyncroRevMatch while ignoring the oil temp issue. Personally, I think Nissan can keep the SyncroRevMatch and install an oil cooler with the sport package. From the oil consuming RevUP 350Z, to the self destructing GTR transmission to the oil temp issue with the 370Z, it makes me wonder if Nissan has a quality control issue. Just my new cents, I would appreciate any response. |

Thanks for the response.
Is it true that the oil cooler will void the warranty with Nissan? How does the car compare to your previous 350Z? Thank you |
