Interesting to see what the decisions are based on.
We tested here thoroughly at 38deg C and oil temps did not exceed 126deg C, which our cars are good to over 130degC.
Now what may help us is Toyota use 5W30 fully synthetic oil, were as you are on 0w20 if I'm not mistaken.
What would be more beneficial to us here is additional water cooling to get the charger temps down.

I was getting to 126degC on aggressive runs up mountain roads, yes, our cars might be good for 130degC, but I have noticed power lost over 115degC.
After installing the oil cooler, with same driving conditions, I'm not getting over 105degC and the engine is very happy.
I'm running 5W30 full synthetic oil already.
