I can feel a big difference in the car from 180ish to 220+ I dont track my car (mainly cause there are no tracks on Long Island) but I plan on getting an Oil Cooler next month. Am I over reacting???? I think you need to take it down a few Notches.

Mine has reached 200-215 on very warm days, and driving highway speeds. Typically my car reaches around 190 degrees after few hours of driving (normal).

I look at it this way. Am I racing the car - no. Am I abusing the engine - no. Am I covered under warranty - Yes. I will let Nissan deal with the headache, and providing a solution if the engine craps out due to overheating. Til then, enjoy your car.

They do not have one oem? 15 psi is of course adequate, but both of those sound very low compared to other cars I have owned I bet they are minimum specs and you see higher.

I can't imagine how people drive Z's and do not need an O/C. Maybe my engine was misassembled. If my oil temp stopped at 220, I'd never have considered one. I hit 220+ with an O/C the other day. Ambient temp 53*.

I've driven city and highway, 7 to 102 degrees, 0 to 100% humidity...pretty much any situation you can be in without tracking it and the highest i've ever had the temp get to is 223. The normal range for me is ~200 in winter and ~215 in the summer.

I noticed that you guys have different year models. Is it possible that Nissan made a minor change after the 09 model came out? Is there any correlation to year model and percentage of people with oil temp issues?

People have tried to link model year to oil temperatures with no success, it is strange how people can experience completely different oil temperatures in the same environment, driving and weather conditions though as has been found to happen.
