The car would never be tracked, but a little spirited driving once in a while can not be avoided. Should I worry? or should I try getting them to put in an oil cooler?
shadyDR,
I don't want to get off topic, but if you go through the entire post there has been some data captured and recorded by other members. I only know this because I really like this car but this issue has me rethinking it, that and I have some spare time to read 30pgs worth of posts.
Anyways, to sum this up, the AUTO trans don't seem to exhibit this behavior all that much. The theory to this (from what I've been able to gleam from reading) is that the AUTO is much more precise in shifting and will keep the RPM's lower than the typical driver on a M/T.
Second, it seems to have a lot of us worried/concerned in the southern states. I'm originally from Vermont and I would not worry about the Northern areas too much because the heat-to-humidity ratio is nothing compared to Florida, SoCal, Texas, etc.

If you go back in the posts you will see the data collected and compiled regarding people posting with problems that have the A/T vs the M/T.
EDIT: just for quick reference: PG 24, Post #4 by travisjb has some data.
EDIT: There was another word document somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it right now.
EDIT: Oil Temp Survey

As a side note, anyone know if the G37 A/T's have showed this sign? Or even if the M/T's have showed this sign? I have not gotten over to their boards. I do have a co-worker that has the new G37 A/T and again we live in Florida. I will post back if I ever hear of their car going into 'Limp Mode'.
