You don't currently have an issue You think you might because of what you've read on the internet You want them to resolve this (nonexistent problem) You threaten them if they don't Unbelievable. Go buy your Mitsubishi or Mazda. I'm sure their customer relations department will respond in a similar fashion to the issues you think you might have with those cars..

I dunno if i drive like a granny or just been lucky but on the highway in Australia i can't get my oil temp to go above 200F. This is 6th gear 100kph cruising for about 30 mins to and from work...
On non-highways i get about 210F. I've seen 220F before fanging the car a bit but very rare for me. The above results are from original oil, jsut up to 4000km on the oddo and ambient temps ranging between 70F to 95F No track/ skidpan or the like yet... so i'm still holding my breath... |

Again, IMHO it's not a weak argument and they did the right thing. BTW - If your car is going into limp mode under normal driving conditions then you've got a legitimate warranty issue that Nissan has to correct. If that means they install an oil cooler for free, then that's what they should do. But how many people are having oil temp problems under normal driving conditions? Hardly any (maybe none), I bet...

I post a letter I sent to Nissan, and some folks take it like a personal attack on them.
Say hi to the fellas when you get to work at Nissan tomorrow. One of the nice things about being an American (a country I spent 22 years defending) is I get the right to complain. Get over it. |

Here's your response from Nissan:

Yup...It's easy to educate yourself here on these issues if you make the effort, but if you'd rather take the time to defend your right to sound like a spoiled whiner, fine by me.. This survey was done almost a year ago, well before many cars had sufficient miles on them to be called truly broken in. As miles have gone up, temps have gone down. Yours sound perfectly normal. There are many other reasons that cause limp mode on the street. Oil temps are generally not one of them. After the initial hysteria wore off there hasn't been much discussion on this..

Very interesting data. This remains one of the main reasons why I have not upgraded to a 370Z. Living in South Florida, I do not feel like concentrating on oil temps instead of just enjoying the car. Personally, I am hoping that Nissan will at least offer the oil cooler as an option for the 2011 model year. Some extra HP would also be nice.
Otherwise the 350Z will be traded in for a 2011 Mustang GT. I love the stying of the 370Z, and the performance is excellent for the price, but I've been there and done that with Nissan with a Rev Up oil consuming 350Z. Nissan should learn something from the Toyota fiasco and be proactive in dealing with customer complaints regarding their automobiles. I would argue that limp mode could be a safety issue if it were to engage at an during spirited driving. |
