Which brings up another question. How long does it take for oil to get too hot? I know this can be a gray area, but am I helping to protect the car at all by cutting my sessions a little short? I have not measured temps.

60 seconds in 3rd gear at 70mph will get it too hot during "daily driving" conditions, without an oil cooler. You can guess how it is on the track...
