Sure the car may be running 10°F hotter, and we can’t tell u why that’s happening.

Regardless tho, 200°F is not too hot for oil in any way. You have nothing to worry about. When you get closer to 240°F +, then let’s talk

You're overthinking it and stressing yourself out. The temp you have is fine.

But it changed AFTER the oil change. Major sus

Take your car to the dealer ASAP and demand for the service manager to take the car apart and figure out why it’s doing this. Have them check that the cams are camming, rods are rodding, pistons are pissing, exhaust is exhausting. Don’t take “no” for an answer and tell them you will keep climbing the corporate ladder until you get the answer to your satisfaction. Take your dash cam also like you did for the oil change. Keep us posted.

I will watch them do the oil change this time and inspect the area when they have it lifted. Something is up because even in colder temperatures outside it still reads 200.

My CSC went out after 12 years, but at only 10k miles.

My last post was meant as a joke. You can go to the dealership and have them check if you want and only for them to take your money, but they will (or should) tell you the same thing: Your car is fine.

370z running higher oil temperature after oil change
 

Does your car still come up to temperature in a normal manner? If it gets to 200F unusually quickly or slowly then sure u might have another problem with a sensor going bad.

But like we’ve said, if the only difference is the car getting to 200F now instead of 190F… you’re fine.

Lay off the cocaine. Or maybe take some more to chill the fvck out.

There is no way that the magnetic drain plug is affecting the oil temperature. 200 degrees is just fine. You're nowhere near any risk of having engine damage at that temperature.

I think you should really just do things yourself from now on to really give you peace of mind. A lot of things could effect your oil temperature such as how hot or cold it is outside, stop and go traffic, etc.

I mean, if you just started dating a hog that's putting more load on the engine to get up to speed so that will definitely heat up the oil.

I have them on video putting in the oil I provided.

It is 200F no matter what I do. Normal driving or getting on it it always comes back to 200. It used to be 185.

Nothing has changed in my driving behavior or anything. in 60 degree weather its still staying at 200 degrees. 200 when its 85 outside, 200 when its 60...

This oil temperature issue started IMMEDIATELY after I brought it in for an oil change. The temperature starting rising rather quickly compared to previously.

Hi Rusty! :hello:

Hi Jarblue! :hello:

Update: After getting the oil change done again and the Greddy magnetic drain plug removed and replaced with the original OEM plug, the oil temperature dropped by 10 degrees! Now just driving normal oil temperatures are around 185-190 when they used to be 185. I'm okay with that discrepancy. I also did a few pulls and it never reached 200. With the Greddy drain plug I did the same and reached 220. Here are photos from after the oil change last week when the temps were settling at 190-200, and today when oil temps were settling at 185-190. I guess the Greddy magnetic drain plug did something to raise the oil temperature after all...

*I don't have a photo of it staying at 200 but that is what happened shortly after the first photo was taken.*https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...865f85b835.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5f7663413.jpg

Hi Spooler! :hello:

:tiphat:

Hi Dreadnaught! :hello:

Should have used extra virgin oil :facepalm:

Did I read this right... You think a f*cking drain plug caused higher temps?

OP make sure spread the words on FB, must warn others of the Greddy drain plug!

Hi cv129! :hello:

Hi sx moneypit! :hello:

How the hell did I miss this?! It's his freaking shifter linkage bolt causing the damn heat issues!! A little jbweld should fix it right up.

Hi everyone. :)

You don't say. There's a member with the exact same linkage bolt issue:

Hi ZoomZ! :hello:

This thread brought out the OG's. :rofl2:

No.... should have used abiogenic oil. That's what I use. :tup:

Starting to remind me of the Miata door thread.

I know that guy! Poor soul...

Yea.....the guy with furry palms.

What happened to some of the other OG's?
