Default Oil temperature

Dear Nissan's customer service reps, techs, enthusiast and people that take Nissan's side on this
I have a Nissan's 2010 touring roadster with sport package. This car comes with Nissan's famous and most used VQ37VHR engine. This engine has a problem with high oil temperature and will go into limp mode at about 280 degrees. Nissan knew of this condition thus the limp mode. I don't track my car but I have been reading that track users in these cars do produce those temperatures. So when trackers complain about a few laps around the track and limp mode kicks in; I can understand Nissan's responds of," add a mode for cooling your oil", even though this car is advertised as a "sport car". But us cool drivers are finding out that just light spirited driving and driving in hot climates or stuck in traffic pushes the car into high temperatures like 280 degrees. Now to my question; how hot is hot? My car temperature is normally around 180-220. But with spirited driven or stuck in traffic on a hot day has reach up to 260. My point is even going into limp mode stuck in traffic will not reduce the oil temperature. Are these high temperature going to cause damage within the engine at some point. Don't you think Nissan's owes us an oil cooler or some other solutions to this premeditated future damages to our investments. I know this is a dead horse issue but.... thinks in advance for your help in this matter....Z fans or disappointed consumers awaits your response.
