new car, oil temp problem ??
 

i recently bought a new 2014 touring sport 6mt.
got mobil 1 synenthic oil change from nissan at 1k miles like recommended by my nissan dealer.
car has now 1500 miles

when driving it stays around 180-190 which is normal but as soon as the car is standing still, not moving for like 5-10 min, oil temp increases and gets close to 220 ??. 2 of my friends got the same year / make / model as me and they never hit 200 or 220 even with aggressive driving ?? (NY weather, outside temp 20-30 degrees)

I'm going to bring it to nissan, this shouldn't be normal, i know we have oil temp problems with our cars but I'm not even driving aggressively ??

I'm going to fight with nissan cause my car is stock and under warranty.

Sounds normal to me ..........

Get an oil cooler kit, high oil temps are a VQ37 signature

:iagree: get an oil cooler...

Dont kill yourself over this. This is normal!
Remember On stand still your Z is not getting cool air compared when you are running. So it gets hotter when not running.
This is normal for it to go 200-220 temp which is actually the norm operating range.
Get a oil cooler if this bothers you.

So hold your horses with warranty and declaring war to Nissan otherwise they will just laugh at you and say "Thank you for enjoying your Z as it runs very good when driven and not on stand still!:tup:

Lots of posts on this subject already.

I thought 2014s should come with factory oil cooler already?

Lol...13+ has factory oil warmer

oil temp
 

Its normal. These engines can and do run hotter also hit the highway it will cool down.

The VQ runs between 220-240 under mildly spirited driving in normal weather. Limp mode kicks on between 270 n 280

If your car is just sitting its gonna heat the oil up cause there is no air flow until the cooling fans turn on to cool it . now i dont know if the newer ones have the same thing mine does where the ecu pulls power the hotter it gets . but 220 is not bad temp wise for the oil . when mine gets that hot i feel a noticable diff in power .

How did you not notice the exact same thing, which is normal, in your previous Z?

I have the largest Setrab Oil Cooler, temp is usually just below 180, if in traffic for a little while, it will get up to around 195-200. Once I get going again, it drops right down. It is also possible that the fact that your friends drive faster, help keep the the temp lower due to the added air. Now, if you are driving hard (track use) that is a whole different scenario.

So even if you get an oil cooler, you will see a somewhat similar episode, it's normal. Nissan will say it's normal and send you away

That sounds normal for the 2012 and up cars with the factory oil cooler/heater. They are cooled by coolant so in the summer that provides some cooling and in the winter it will heat the oil.

really? I have the 12. and I never hit 220 unless even when I drive spirited. I live in NYC same as OP.
