#5 of 12 Re: 2009 370Z Car MUST HAVE AN ENGINE OIL COOLER! [perfecto2] by fastsvo Aug 17, 2009 (9:46 am)
Replying to: perfecto2 (Aug 10, 2009 2:29 pm) Are mid year production Z's now coming equipped with a factory oil cooler?   Is the aftermarket jumping on this? Replies to this message: perfecto2 (Aug 18, 2009 2:32 pm) rmhockman (Aug 27, 2009 6:23 am) esquire2 (Oct 25, 2009 4:12 pm)

Replying to: fastsvo (Aug 17, 2009 9:46 am) From the information I'm receiving from Nissan's Engineers, there is no Engine Oil Temperature problem with the 2009 Nissan 370Z!   I disagree, because you can't drive any 2009 370Z car over 3500 RPM's, when the ambient temperature is over 90 degrees, for more that 25 miles without the Engine Oil Temperature climbing to above 270 degrees. If the 370Z's Engine Oil Temperature reaches 280 degrees, the car's max RPM's will be reduced from 7500 RPM's to 6500 RPM's, and if the Car's Engine Oil Temperature reaches 290 degrees, the car's Engine max RPM's of 7500, will be reduced to 4500 RPM's. That is approximately one half of the 370Z available HORSE POWER.   Now, tell me if you thing Nissan has a major problem with the 3.7L Engine?

#7 of 12 370Z oil preferences by rmhockman Aug 27, 2009 (6:02 am)
I have read numerous articles relative to many different oils both synthetic and conventional and there appears to be a heck of lot of non scientific opinions of which is the best. Some prefer Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec, a few others prefer Royal Purple, Amsoil or Redline and many other brands mostly synthetic for obvious reasons.   If you read their advertising they more or less all claim superiority over the competition.   Frankly I don't know if there is a great of amount of difference except conventional oils have a higher pour point at lower tempertures after reading a published article that claimed oil comparisons, both conventional and synthetic vary only very slightly on long term New York City taxis using a controlled test spanning many thousands of miles over a full years span.   It makes one wonder although the tests did not include high speed track racing.   I guess the same applies to oil filters as well.   Your thoughts will be appreciated.   R M H

Replying to: perfecto2 (Aug 18, 2009 2:32 pm) Holy mackeral, engine rpm reduced to 4500 is disasterous and means only 117 mph on the interstate!!! .... I wonder how many drive their cars at those speeds for any distance?? What motor oil are you using, I use Syntec 5-30.   Kind of makes me wonder why my 370z only indicates about 200 to 220 degs. on long mountain grades with outside temps hovering in the 80's???   Perhaps it's because I didn't intend to run my car to death but just enjoy it's wonderful handling and acceleration in the mountains of Pennsylvania.   They certainly don't give these things away you know.                                         R M H
#9 of 12 Service engine warning by statmantx Oct 24, 2009 (4:10 am)
Have new Z with 500 miles. Service engine warning light came on after 1st fill-up. Service manual state gas cap needs to be tight and will go off after a few miles. 50 miles later and warning is still on. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: rmhockman (Oct 24, 2009 5:16 am)

Replying to: statmantx (Oct 24, 2009 4:10 am) Once I ascertained the fuel cap was properly tightened I would go directly to my dealer for a fast diagnostic check. I don't fool around with those warnings as they can possibly be serious. As you know that VQ engine is quite a piece of engineering.                                                   R M H

Replying to: perfecto2 (Aug 18, 2009 2:32 pm) I would return the car to the dealer each time you have this issue, under the current Lemon Law the dealer will be required to buy back the vehicle if the issue is not corrected within a year. A class action law suit is also an option.
