I think I read that 230F is where the car starts to lose power due to oil temps. This it a tricky thing, however, because I believe we want the oil over 200F to burn off fuel/water/whatever that might be in the oil in small amounts. In short, I don't think the temps you are seeing are all that high. But I do think anything over 230 should be watched carefully.
