It seems like where you're at is perfectly fine. Things don't get too hairy until you get to around 300degF

What are you smoking? 240F is about the cut off point to when severe pressure drops occur. The issue with oil temps on this platform isn't the oil temp itself (as far as damaging the oil), it's the effect on oil pressure. If you're regularly going over 240F and not doing anything about it, say goodbye to your rod bearings.

Honestly, people, search the forums. Get an engine oil cooler. It's one of the first reliability mods you should do if you're going to be canyon running or putting the car on track.
