I run my personal car with 260-280F oil temps, and have yet to have an oil related failure. In fact, I have an oil analysis for every single oil change on my car, showing that I'm doing just fine with those temps. I even run 10k oil change intervals. Of course, YMMV.
Isn't your car basically stock? You don't have a turbo correct?


Also, once again not worried about oil degradation lol. Worried about longevity of the turbo (especially a smaller one like a 20g that produces a pretty substantial amount of heat). Overtime, turbo seals can go and it's a really annoying ordeal to get repaired or replaced
