2010 is same car as 2009. So, should we point this thread to the original thread and close it?
Yes. Here's Nissan's response

The 370Z has an engine protection system that reduces peak engine speeds when the oil temperature exceeds recommended levels in order to protect against possible engine damage. Aggressive driving of the 370Z on a race track at sustained high engine speeds can cause increases in oil temperature and may activate this engine protection system. To avoid activation of this engine protection system and these reduced peak engine speeds, Nissan recommends an oil cooler be fitted to the 370Z before driving it on a race track. A Nissan Motorsports accessory oil cooler kit is available for customer purchase through authorized Nissan dealerships for race track use. The part number is 21300-SS370.

An oil cooler is not necessary for normal operation of the vehicle on public roads. The addition of an oil cooler would have raised the price of the car and potentially moved it out of the reach of some customers. Value has been a core principle of the Z car since the original 240Z and we choose to uphold this core principle by not adding additional costs that are unnecessary for normal use. For those individuals who choose to drive their vehicle on a race track, the oil cooler is available as an aftersales item.

The oil cooler is a Nissan Motorsports item and as such is sold without warranty, express or implied, unless expressly prohibited by law in which case the warranty provided is the minimum required by law. The installation of the Nissan Motorsports oil cooler does not, by itself, “void” the vehicle warranty. However any damage caused by the installation or use of this part is expressly excluded under the terms of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited warranty.
And in my honest opinion, if you're not tracking your car, you will be fine. None of us (09 & 10) have any oil heating issues. Just switch to a good synthetic oil and call it a day.

Does anyone hear a high pitch noise inside their car? I also noticed the rear hatch can 'stick' sometimes. My paint seems to chip pretty easily as well. Sometimes my transmission grinds when I shift into 6th. I put an exhaust on my car, but do you think that will void my warranty?

(Let's get all the threads together in this one )

Is it normal that I hear all the stones hitting the inside of my wheel wells?

SnakeJake,

easy on us, Man! .

The thread was so lengthy that everyone got sick of it. Thus, our psychologically-bruised brains started to boil again.

stay with us and hang tight.
