Not getting up to temp with oil cooler?

Prashiy · 03-15-2012, 10:05 PM

Mine is running around 160-170F on highway speeds since the Nissan cooler installation last week. I went with the Nissan cooler because the car is relatively new and I wanted to make sure there is no liability of another aftermarket one. I was wondering if the 165F may be too cold but the dealer technician says it is totally fine. In stop and go SoCal traffic or slightly spirited driving, the temp gets up to 190-205F. Perhaps it might perfect for the SoCal summer time. Before the installation even a simple stop and go traffic or 10 min of gentle uphill climb would bring it upto 245-250.
