Also, synthetic oil is not expected to break up at those temperatures. But I do agree with you, I don't want those temperatures in my car, but then I also don't plan on tracking my car more than a few times a year. I got some heat mitigating parts on the way.

Overheating can apply to anything really. 135-140c is too high, the oil no matter what it is will thin out and you'll be running very little oil pressure which isn't good. If you are hitting like 125-130c+ I'd be looking at an oil cooler.
