Tell that to Brock Yates and all the people who race One Lap of America and the original Cannon Ballers....I completely disagree with your statement and agree with Brock Sr. and Jr., those speeds become unsafe when they are done in shitty cars or by shitty inexperience drivers.

From a Scion? That's just not right. I mean, for you it is very right . It's just "not right".

And they do come cheap...the 370Z is quite a bang for the buck.

I'm driven my Nismo pretty hard and have yet to see temps above 220. Now, I haven't spent 20+ minutes straight above 5k RPMs, but I'm not sure there's a place for that type of driving unless you're on the track, in which case shouldn't you have an oil cooler anyways?
Reading through this thread, I'm confused... Seeing a thread called "oil temp issues" with so many replies made me think there may be a problem. Reading through the thread only makes me feel better, seeing as so many people have no issues while driving normal. Or am I way off?

um....where exactly are you deriving this wealth of invaluable knowledge that you seem to think you have?
unless you were actually on the design team for the 2009 370z, or had access to proprietary information, or an engineer in the development of the 370z, what are you basing your opinions off of? this thread is full of real world user data on the 370z, so when you bring yourself into the middle of a conversation you obviously know nothing of, and start spewing useless self known jibberish based off of what i do not know, nor do i care to know...you have basically put your foot in your mouth... oh and i have teetered on the borderline of over heating oil temps just sitting in day to day traffic... so i suppose that is my fault for driving to/from work...i guess i should just park my z and walk so i dont abuse my car Quote:

So, what do you think is causing your excessive oil temperature? Firstly, do you know for sure that the temp gauge is even correct? Try measuring the temperature using a hand held device with a laser. Check the temperature at the oil pan and all along the radiator hoses and engine block when it is overheating. This should strengthen your case for litigation should it ever come to that. The temperature gauge could be improperly calibrated. Other things that cause high temperatures is lean air/fuel ratios, malfunctioning engine management sensors, engine blow-by, using the incorrect grade of fuel, etc. |
