Went to the track today. My oil temp reached 127C (260F). At that temperature, oil pressure was always less than 3.0 bar across the rev range till redline. I set my oil pressure gauge to beep when pressure drops below 3 bar. It was beeping almost the whole time while lapping. It would sometimes drop to 2.5 bar (36 psi) during gear changes or at the corners. Definitely not good. I'm already running 5w30.
