First Arizona Thread....

Quick question fellas. What are your oil temps like during this time of year? Particularly summer? I'd rather get some real world feedback before I make the jump. I know Nissan supposedly added a "band aid" to keep the oil temps cool. Just wondering too since the car will see 20 min sessions 4x during a NASA event.

I know I'll be using very good oil and filter, but since the car will be under warranty, I'd rather not tinker with it and add an oil cooler until the warranty runs out.

I run a Setrab 34 row cooler. Most people don't use coolers that big until you start getting into forced induction. I use it because of ARIZONA hah. Usually im around 180 with my cooler, maybe 200 if im stopped in traffic during the peak afternoon hotness. I haven't tracked the car yet but i've done some hard 20-45min canyon runs and i've been around 220-230 max.
