I will not be making it today, considering I just woke up and its almost 10....

ZCarMan · 07-24-2010, 03:24 PM

Hey, it was a small turnout today but none the less it was great to see you guys! It was 105 on the way home this afternoon and my Z was running oil temps of about 230-235 with the AC off. With it on it jumped to close to 240 but no higher.

Mike! How is it that I can't seem to remember your name all the time? Love that drop top!

After I switched over to redline, I notice that my oil temperature runs about 10 degrees higher than the nissan oil. Its not really a big problem being that it runs at 220 instead of 210, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed this change as well when they switched?

I ran the same temps after the switch. Maybe a degree or two cooler.

NCSUPACK09 · 07-25-2010, 08:54 AM

OK, I will check my oil level again today. Maybe I just didn't top it off all the way.

I guess I just need to come around more often.

ZCarMan · 07-25-2010, 07:11 AM

Nick, thats interesting because I've run nothing but the Nissan Ester Oil in the Z and my average temps are always at 220. Its just been during these last few months with the heat plus AC that I'll see my temps going up. I'm getting my oil cooler installed soon so it will be interesting to see how much change in temps I'll see.

m4a1mustang · 07-25-2010, 08:54 AM

Yeah, definitely check. It takes 5 1/8 quarts for a full fill.

Check for any leaks at the filler plug and filter, too.

When I changed my oil I put in about 5 1/8, but maybe I put in a little bit less than 1/8 when I got to flat ground.

I checked, and everything looks good. I put in a tad more oil (don't want to overfill it), so we'll see if that helps at all, but there are definitely no leaks.
