I have seen roughly 250F+ oil tell just from backroads driving.
I plan on doing my first autox day and HPDE weekend with it towards the end of the month. The plan is to change to 5w30 before then, even if I will realistically be under 4K miles at that point. I will then change back to 0w20 almost right after the HPDE weekend in October since winter is coming. Does that sound like a logical plan?
Thanks!

Buy an oil cooler.
