For what it's worth, I've had my oil temps up to 240-250 without the oil cooler ( installed one eventually) on the 0w-20 oil. This was on many many more than one occasion. I had an engine oil analysis done and came back that everything was great. I've beaten the crap out of this car, and it sees a lot of high RPM driving in the dead of winter / snowstorms. Aside the issue I had with my valve recall work ( not going into that here) my car has never had an issue, doesn't consume oil, gets 34MPG highwys, 29 city, and never is a burden to drive.
I wouldn't question this car making it to 250,000 or even 300,000 before the rust comes to claim it. I may even get the rust fixed if it seems worth it.
