Without an oil cooler I maxed at 223F on a lapping day. I think 215 or under is OK for spirited driving but pretty high for a commute. It's been hot lately so that plays a roll too. I'd switch to 5W30 or even 0W40 in the hotter months to maintain viscosity. Use 0W20 in the winter. I have a supercharger presently and run 40 weight as recommended by HKS. Also have an oil cooler now.
If you don't track it or do autocross you can probably skip the oil cooler.
