Oil Temps

Ty Weezy · 05-11-2010, 10:02 PM

Hey guys I am a new 2009 370z Nismo owner. Had the car a couple weeks now and I love it. I was reading a lot about oil temps and how the z's have some problems with the temp. getting too high. Getting an oil cooler kit is on my list of things to do, but I just wanted to see what temps are getting into the danger zone. Today was a cool rainy day and about 55 degrees. I was in stop and go traffic after work and I noticed my Oil temp was close to 220 (about 218 to be exact). This seems pretty high. What oil temps will start to cause some problems? Thanks for any advice!

I highly doubt you'll ever need an oil cooler for daily driving in Philly.

I didn't think I would need one, but what oil temps are too high? Can anyone give me some guidelines on when I should worry?

IMO anything over 240 is getting high, 260+ means you should go easy on the car and let it cool down.

A few minutes of enthusiastic driving down here gets mine in the 250+ range. I'm planning on putting one on my car before summer gets here and it's really hot.

mine stays around 200-220 when fully warmed up
