On top of that these same engineers are Japanese who have a reputation for always doing excellent work. If the 332 HP V6 on a 4,000 pound car is overheating even though everything is working as designed, then it is not the engine; it is the driver. Everything overheats if it is overworked. In this case, it is no different.
Oh yea, and my 2006 350 oil consumption car, was driver fault as well..... including all the other '06 drivers with the same issue being at fault too. And by the way numb nuts, the Z is NOT a 4000 pound car

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.

That's right! It's a 3,300 pound car or less! What's the point of bringing this up? It doesn't help to prove your point, it only helps further enhance my own. The less the sports car weighs, the more I'm right that the car seriously shouldn't be overheating so long as everything is operating as designed and that the driver isn't outright flogging their engine. You should learn to lighten up. You're just like Lieutenant Tuvok in "Star Trek Voyager". With Captain Kathrine Janeway marooned in the Delta quadrant.

Yet you still drive an '82 300SD MB....

Do you call that being friendly? Because I think it falls closer to the 'giving someone a hard time' category. It also seems to me that you were making a huge assumption about somebody you've never met before and know absolutely nothing about.
Semtex, that was well said. And quite frankly it was the only reason I even bothered replying to this guy. Quite opinionated, isn't he?

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

Haha, do you read these forums? Have you seen the MODS.

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?

Driving normal my oil temp stays under 220. But as soon as i put in fresh oil and start with the aggresive driving it gets close to 260. I agree with an oil cooler for the track but people are saying that nissan says adding the cooler will void the warranty

..........and you're just like most of the other trolls here who don't own a 370 but "think" they are God's gift to the membership, enlightening us with your "perceived" knowledge. Love the Star Trek analogies BTW

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

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.
