If folks are really having oil temp issues in a stock class 40-60 second autocross run, then Nissan has issues and I'm taking mine back to the dealer and demanding they fix it. Also I wonder if this was a known problem ie service bulletins, etc if an oil cooler would be acceptable in stock class?

when I did a quick test on a dyno of when the power goes down, it started to get down as soon as the oil got to 104 C ( 219F ) 7-8whp mostly in mid-range.

I should have tried at 240F
