Not sure how the Camaro6 is with its temps but they didn't seem to address what most see as a oil temp problem in the introduction of the C7 either. I don't think GM sees a problem with Camaro's oil temps. An oil temp problem is too easy for the OEM to come up with a solution, they added a trans cooler on the 1LE, why not throw on a oil cooler as well? It isn't a cost issue. The price of an oil cooler is irrelevant in the big picture, especially if it's critical. I'm sure GM is on the cutting edge of oil technology and even I've seen many reports that 300 is not an excessively hot running temp for quality oils nowadays. Many oils claim they are capable at temps into the 400 range. My own oil reports show no indication of thermal related issues when it's spent significant time at 270-300. It may be time to rethink this as a norm and not as an issue.
