The 350Z has a factory one that pumps engine coolant through the oil filter moutning ring to cool the oil but I agree for tracking a standalone oil cooler is a good idea. that being said i don't run one. Yet...

Are you running a wet or dry bearing on your turbo. I may be switching to a wet bearing unit soon to see what it does to oil temps...

From what I have seen data wise and talking to the R&D guys at Turbonetics you can drop bearing temps over 300 degrees Farenheit just by running a wet bearing...

MSRP is $2049 USD. Thats MSRP of course. Most dealers sell below that. Probably more like $1800 USD. But best bet is to call a dealer and get a price quote. The banners at the top of the site have some vendors you can look at to get a price quote...
