Based on information I've seen over at Bobistheoilguy.com there are quite a few high performance cars (Vipers,Mustangs,Vettes) running their oil temps up in the 300s without issue. Now that doesn't mean we won't have an issue at the same temp, but it does make me wonder what about our engines could be so different as to make you not want to run the oil temp that high.

We know the car cuts power, so thats a sign that the engineers are a little concerned about oil temp (unless that is common with other cars, I don't know).

Do higher oil temps have an effect on direct injection? Is it something more boxster specific?

I'm still going to run a cooler under the better safe than sorry mantra, but I am curious what else we are missing.
