With stricter emission, better oil and materials, car engines are running hotter and hotter in order to meet it. Most cars' operating temperature are in the low 200 range as they are more efficient at that temperature. If the gauge was never put in the car, half the people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between 200F and 250F. Did it bother me at first? Sure. Yet I have gotten over it, I barely look at the gauge at this point.
I have seen the track. I don't fret at 190,220 or 250 even. Its when I see my engine hitting 260 and I haven't really pushed it. This issue wasn't even real to me in my 09. Zenobia was my baby. Near 150mph and staying in that range, keeping my RPM's in the high 4000
Rpm's and all my car would see is 250 degrees. Now my car sees a little action on a hot day and I see 260. That's wack. Straight up and down, it should have been added.

Some of you act like people are whining because they want something else for free. Like getting this oil cooler is some kind of envy for pre 12 owners. On ghe contrary, we are mostly happy. Its just this has been an issue since june of 09. Of all the wannabe complaints like... oh it rides to rough or its too loud or it doesn't have backseats or have the other bulls**t complaints that run around this forum. The oil issue has been well documented for years. Many of us aggressive or track drivers have seen it at one time of our lives and I don't think its too much to ask for those"WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT TO WARRANTY THE PART."

I'm not the only one buying nissan after nissan. Plenty of us own 3 or more nissans currently as I. Some of you talk like getting a warranteed oil cooler asking for a handout. When I'm on my next purchase, my confidence in my brand of choice won't be jaded by the rep of band aid fixes versus complete resolution of the problem for all customers. They haven't even sold a whole 40k units in all these years and they will probably only sell 5000 coolers at best. So just warranty the part at least as an act of good faith on standing by a performance product.
