Some people definitely think so! Personally, running known good 5w30 synthetic, it doesn't worry me too much. I keep an eye on the gauge and it always settles in just above 270F indicated, if it kept going up I would worry. Actually glad to learn that it's in the tune, and honestly 285F for me is a good time to call it off, even though the oil can certainly handle temps that high. That said I don't expect it to get to 280F during extended lapping sessions..
