I'll take a stab at this, since I just logged temps at Sebring in 87-90* ambient temps last weekend. Saturday I saw oil temps read from the OEM sensor via the OBDII port consistently stay at 287-293*f during each session, and at one point it actually touched 300*f. However, the water temp would stay around 210-217, but wouldn't go any higher than that. I did find though that on Sunday the temps stayed a few degrees lower, and maxed at 294, but hovered around 285 to 287. I am not sure WHERE the OEM sensor is pulling temps from, but that could have some bearing on why the temps are so high in comparison to water temp. Regardless, 280-290 and 300* temps being read ANYWHERE is not good.
This was my first time on track with the car, had 997 miles on it, no mods other than brake pads, fluid and brake cooling kit, even running stock tires.
