Oil temp gradually gets up to ~272 indicated by lap 5 and never goes up from there. As you can see top speeds and acceleration are not reduced despite much higher oil temps. Lap 6 this session was my fastest lap of the weekend.
No way oil temps are based on coolant temps as my coolant temp always stabilizes quickly (225F I think?) and never moves from there, even while oil temp climbs up to 272F indicated (max 275F from datalogs)

thanks for the info, but those coolant temps ..holy cow, anything about 220F for extended period of time is alarming for me ..the highest I have seen was 230F I believe and that was on a hot day with a supercharger, IIRC.
I will most likely upgrade the radiator and/or low temp thermostat as well as a different coolant mixture (30/70 maybe)

because there are tons of cars with calculated field/data for oil temps vs actual readings ( most of the Corvettes and Camaros for instance) and it's been ~7 years since the last time I owned/tracked my BRZ so I don't remember
Where is the oil temp sensor located? in the oil pan?
