Oil temps get plenty toasty but coolant temps seem pretty well controlled on this platform.
Went back and looked at data logs, one day I saw 199F max, another 202F max coolant temp. Kinda surprised to see they're that low!

Memory is a little dodgy on this as sometimes I have the temp gauge at "normal" setting with no numbers for *F, and sometimes I have it in the alternate setting where it shows tickmarks at 150F/190F/230F/270F, and they're different scales. In any case I'd see it go up and hold in a "normal" part of the range so didn't think about it much, more keeping eye on oil temp...
