I run the Torque app through a Bluetooth OBD adapter to display lots of ECU data on an old cell phone, but oil temp is not an available parameter. Anyone else use Torque and can access oil temp?

The stock oil temp gauge on the triple-gauge cluster in the middle of the dash.

The gauge is ok for real-time numbers, but the app is capable of data-logging. Thats why im more interested to know if anyone uses it for oil temp.

In doing some research to build my own kit, I am finding there is very little to gain penny-wise. You really dont have much in savings. Unless I go with local brands like TRU Cool and the like. Mocal is cheaper than Setrab but still up there.

You should drive it and watch the temps. It's really not a big deal.
Me too, no problems, once while gets to 225 but goes down quickly,,usually runs around 200 for the most part, I keep an eye on it and run Redline 5w30

For just daily driving, it has been no problem to me when running without any cooler.

The president of Mishimoto came in here to reply to that debacle and mockingly made comments about the Challenger explosion, since it was a bad o-ring as well. Just not a company to do any kind of business with.

Get bent. That's exactly how you do business. It's a continued pattern of behavior. I have had that same discussion with 3 of your forum mouthpieces to date with zero to show for it. I'm not sending the same email for the fourth time to get the same lip service nonapology and zero followup. You guys had your chance(s).

I have a man-crush on Chuck.

I've had my Z for several years without an oil cooler. The oil temp seldom surpasses 220F unless its 95F+ outside and I'm on the highway, in which case it hovers between 230 and 240.

Can't remember where I read it (probably one of my ex-wife's text books when she was studying for her PhD Psych) but it seems to apply here - "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."

:roflpuke2: And just what are you going to do? Offer to send them another o-ring to fix the motor that blew after your umpteenth thermostatic plate failed and dumped their oil all over the road? :shakes head:


:gtfo2: with that $hit

The funny part is that his post is pretty much copied and pasted from every other time one of their customers had a problem and they wanted to appear like they gave a damn. Even their posts are knockoffs.

Your handle is close enough to Mishimoto that I actually thought they posted this for a second. Lolz!
