They reported it to the NHTSA Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) | U.S. Department of Transportation and filed complaints. Im sure if most of you file complaints here Nissan will have to put a recall out on these cars as there may be a investigation on this topic. Its ashame that a performance car is overheating and Nissan is not helping owners and making them pay for their mistake good luck with this situtaion I hope this helps you guys out.

This is not an issue or a problem or a defect or a... you get the idea. It's totally overblown. For on-the-street operation no one on this forum AFAIK has had their vehicle go into the protective limp mode because of high oil temperature. Some have experienced it while tracking their cars and that is remedied with an oil cooler...which Nissan acknowledges. The sky is NOT falling, thank you very much.

For all the "forum racers" who will never see a track day... get over it. The overheating problem is limited to those who track their vehicle.

Anyone who tracks their Z (or any other production car) knows that the brake pads, brake lines, LSD fluid, brake fluid, and differential are not up to track usage.

Funny how you don't see thread after thread regarding these issues.

People who plan to significantly increase the horsepower also are going to have to do this mod.

Good info, OP. I'm ordering a complete Nismo Oil Cooler kit tomorrow.

I went to my dealership yesterday evening and was looking at 370s. I asked the salesman if they sold the cooler and installed them since I'd want it done before I got the car. He had no idea about and said he'd ask his manager in their meeting the next morning (today.)

I just got an email, which isn't too clear, so i'll try to clarify and see if he is or isn't blowing smoke up my ***, but according to him, all of the 2010 370z have the oil cooler installed from the factory.
