Yup. The flashpoint of clean oil is over 400F so I think you're safe. Contaminated (old) oil drops to around 300F.

Im sorry keno but I have to ask. Did u order your car online that you couldn't check or ask that? I don't think it comes with oil cooler. Nissan made it clear that is an option item.

Also NO Dealer should void the warranty of your car for any aftermarket parts installed on your car unless the aftermarket part is the cause of the problem. They only can void the warranty of the part damage and not the whole car. Read about the Magnuson Law.

Yeah, didn't mean to pile on and no need for an apology - issue comes up a lot on this board and we don't want our fellow Z owners to be taken advantage of... suggest you take the time to read this: Magnuson?Moss Warranty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a point of interest, you MAY want to post this same survey up on the G37 forums, they have been reporting the SAME issues as 370Z owners regarding oil temps...
That would only strengthen the argument for NNA to do something about this. |

From what I can see not a SINGLE person has had an engine fail due to these supposed "high" oil temperatures. The only reason this whole thread exists is just straight up ignorance. How many of you guys on here bitching about the "high temps" have EVER had an oil temp gauge in another car? How do you know that 240* is too high? What does your wife's minivan run at? NEWS FLASH!!! It's probably the freakin same!!!
Nissan didn't put the gauge in the car because they "knew it was a problem" That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.. almost. If they knew that was a problem, the LAST thing they'd do is put a gauge that shows every person with internet access that there's a problem. What Nissan did do was give themselves a giant headache by putting that temp gauge in there so you guys could bitch about high engine temps. If the coolant temp isn't getting too higih, then it's probably not overtemp. I bet if there were a tranny or diff temp gauge in there, you'd bitch about those temps being too high as well. Maybe some EGT gauges scattered about would be better? |
