212F seems quite low even for constant 75mph on the highway! I'd expect at least 255F at the track with the factory Forester cooler based on reports I've seen, and some report oil temps at the track barely any lower vs. no cooler at all.
OEM oil temp data sent to the ECU, read by my torque app

As I said earlier, I see no more than 225-230F when cruising at 3.5K+ RPM on a warm-hot day. It doesn't change much on the hottest days either, still don't see it tip above 230F. So I can see how the forester cooler would be able to upkeep with that as the coolant stays fairly steady with consistent airflow.
this was at buttonwillow when it was like 91°F outside
